I’d like to become a DT player, but I can’t even manage to improve. So far I can only get a B on 7 and a C on 8. People say I should just keep playing, but I can’t figure out how to actually play and improve. I can alternate, but sometimes I can’t keep up with my other finger, and I’m not even sure if I’m alternating correctly.

How can I improve with DT?

What do you mean by "I’m not even sure if I’m alternating correctly."? Can you describe why you think this?
Anyways, is the alternation the main issue? If so, you really just have to play more. That's all there is. Brute force your way through. If AR is the primary issue, I'd advise to spam lots of maps 0.1-0.2 AR above what your most comfortable AR is.

DT is finger control and lots of gamma abuse until you eventually can play without gammaPhon wrote:

one thing that could help is playing goreshit maps a lot (breakcore in general)
DT demands:
- high BPM (speed)
- high AR
- high precision
For the BPM you just start playing maps that are slightly faster than you normally play and get used to it. I'm having an issue with this right now, but figured that I do not lack speed but rather consistency on high BPM jumps, so I'm training it right now using practice maps
High AR is rather easy honestly. All you have to do is to constantly play maps gradually increasing AR. There is a very convenient Lazer mod "Difficulty Adjust" where you can literally select any AR for any map, so you can force yourself to play even slower maps with high AR. When your brain will get used to it you'll be able to comfortably read higher AR
For precision just try to tap more precise and get rid of 100/50, look at error meter to check if you're too slow or too fast and adjust accordingly. No special tricks there, just some practice, not the hardest skill to learn
As for alternation I do struggle myself to understand if my technique is good enough and won't slow me down later on, but what I did was literally spamming 2-3* maps making conscious effort to tap with different finger each time until it was automatic. Then I figured I struggle with triples, especially when they start on secondary finger, so I played a lot of triples (practice maps on Half Time (speed adjust)) as well as normal maps with triples and it went away

what, like, B ranks on 7* maps (after dt) and C ranks on 8* maps? that's utterly unsurprising, given how your top plays are on 6* maps. try playing maps that are at your usual level (or lower, even) after dtPhon wrote:

yeah this point also stuck out to meRiverism wrote:

as Riverism has said, try to play easier maps, its not really wise to go straight 7* and 8* when you aren't even proficient at 6* yet. It's also probably why your fingers can't keep up, you're playing maps that are most likely way to difficult for you.
