One of my favorite fills I've been using lately is 16th note triplets (sextuplets) played using regular paradiddles (groups of 4 notes WITH the accent on the first single of each hand as in a normal paradiddle) for a one measure fill. Try an inverted paradiddle as well with the doubles in the middle for variation :-)

It's cool to practice with 8th notes on kick and hatfoot.

Sounds CRAZY around the kit. Try alternating between floor tom with right hand (if right handed) and hi tom with left hand on snare. Then try moving both hands having the accents fall on different drums and/or closed hat.
Crazy!!
