A habit I've fallen into, sounds cool and lets my singles sound faster than they really are:

RLRLRLL RLRLRLL RLRLRLL

switch hands or flip it while continuing to play:

LRLRLRR LRLRLRR LRLRLRR

Pretty simple but it sounds great between tom and snare, and like a really disjointed salsa beat if the kick is holding down quarters. Also, mess with accents that approach a clave and it sounds extra broken (and cool).
