I have to break it to you, in drumming for most things there is no "trick" or "shortcut", they don't work (and often up being counter-productive).
Good, controlled, fast, efficient technique is about practice, practice, practice, infact that is a shorter way than trying to cheat, cheating is really cheating yourself.
There is of course the double pedal, really useful in metal genres and jazz fusion, but those are just a few styles that incorporate the drumset with double pedal (or two bass drums).
Double pedal isn't cheating, it is further utilisation, double pedal means hitting a bass drum faster than with a single pedal.
If you delve into double-bass drumming you expand the variety of syles of which you can learn to understand and play.
