Put your right foot on the bass pedal and stomp it for a bit. Get used to it. Love it. Feel it. The bass, also called kick drum and kick pedal, is your friend. It is the soulmate you have longed for.

:)

Now, turn on that metronome to a nice slow tempo, like 90, and operate the kick pedal in tempo and strive to get the same sound each time.

Lifting the whole leg. Just lift your toe while keeping your heel in place. Practice both ways until they are your trusted friends.
