I had the great experience of studying with Joe Morello. I can tell you that this exercise does a few things:
It allows you to focus on each hand individually
It builds endurance
It results in speed and control
Stone believed that controlled practice combined with endurance will result in speed. Don't try to start at a fast tempo. Start at a reasonable tempo and stop at the slightest feeling of tension. Keep a record of tempos. You should see an improvement in a matter of weeks.
