Cross rhythms

I'm learning basic piano right now, and practice is KEY. I am a percussionist and can play various cross rhythms, and it just takes practice. Make sure you can play both rhythms standalone first at different tempos, and then start VERY slowly...doesn't matter how slow as long as you can get it down. After you hit it successfully five or six times in a row, then start gradually speeding up until you can do it at tempo. Do you have a metronome?
