I do this often with old echo boxes one panned left and one panned right. I tend to just send the snare to it, also using old echoes (or emulations thereof) means that the sound is different from the drum you are effecting and therefore easier to balance, due to the contrast.
Might not be what you need though. If you just want to make your kit wider you could send the snare and a bit of overheads in places to a nice stereo convolution reverb.
I am assuming you have the beat in separate elements (k,snr,oh's etc) if not you could duplicate the beat filter out a lot of the bass and low mids and send that to a delay or reverb or even cut out manually the kicks from your pattern if you dont want a radically different sounding delay.
Just some ideas.
