I don't quite understand the heights thing - what do you do if you are practicing a two-height rudiment? Also, what is your total practice time per day with this schedge? If I am really breaking down a rudiment (like it appears you are doing), I like to throw in a lot of hands-separate reps, perhaps with double stops to see that the hands are agreeing with each other on rhythm, heights, and motion.

I don't think you should completely drop the height practice, but I don't think it should be as big a focus as you are giving it. As others said in the 'anything' thread, focus a lot of your practice time on basics exercises. Play these exercises as a 'warmup' before you move on to more difficult rudiments, but don't think of them simply as 'warmups' - Basics provide the foundation for all other rudiments!
