Here are some ideas for your, using odd note groupings with triplets. I guess you could call them even note groupings as well! The inspiration for these ideas came from a timbale solo played by legendary Afro-Cuban musician, Changuito. You can study more about this solo in my book, Practical Applications, and also in the book I wrote with Changuito, Mastering the Art of Cuban Timbales. My suggestion for practicing these ideas is to play a jazz ride pattern with one hand, on ride cymbal, hi hat "2" and "4" or quarter notes, then play the snare bass pattern. Make it as comfortable as possible. Then, play hand to hand on the snare ("R.L.R.L....") with the bass drum. Next, use the sticking supplied and then orchestrate around the drums. Have fun and please write with your comments and suggestions.
