Hi Harri, 
It sounds like your playing with too much force.
Lighten up!
  Get a practice pad and practice
sixteenths(RLRL,ETC.)while tapping quarter notes with
your right foot. Another cool thing you can do is
paradiddles(RLRR,LRLL) while tapping quarter notes
with your right foot. Once you have mastered this, try
tapping eighth notes with your right foot, and once
you've mastered this add your left foot, playing the
"e"s and "a"s. This will help "steady" you rhythm!
Practice this stuff and when you have mastered these
exercises,write back! I've got a few more that will
help!   :)Brian
