Blimey where do i start!

Depends on if your looking at flashy or appropriate i suppose!

If your into co-ordination -

RLRLL RLRLL RLRLL RLRLL

Between say ride and snare with 3 over two between your bass and hats - then once you've got it try a) reading a newspaper on a music stand and b) singing the notes your playing.

Not and i REPEAT NOT to be used in the middle of your next ballard or such - great for building up 4 way independance!

Paras are great - if you play with them - try accenting different beats in them:

rLrr lRll rLrr lRll - rlRr lrLl - rlrR lrlL

play the accents on the toms, cymbals etc - if your into linear stuff play it between snare and bass or tom and hats

Same as ruffs - work very slow to start but play the ruff between your bass drum and floor tom - if you can get a quick ruff between them its a wicked little thing to through in!

try crossing the beats with fills using 3's 5's and 7's :

1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a1
R l r Lr l R l rLr l R l r LR......

Not sure if that'll make sense!

Linear stuff is cool:

RLRLFF RLRLFF RLRLFF RLRLFF

Then turn that into a groove accenting say the 2+4

The list goes on and on - take the rudiments then split them between all the drums, dont forget your bass and hats can be used for fills as well and so forth
