The first part of this beat (the hi-hat part), I thought of after remembering this thing that this guy (I think it was Rod Morgenstein) wrote in Modern Drummer magazine. It was called filling in the holes with the hi-hat.

Another beat: you may need to start slow with this one and work it up:
H |x-x-x-x---x-xxxxx-x-x-x---x-x-x-|x-x-x-x---x-xxxxx-x-x-x---x-----|
S |--------o---------------o-------|--------o---------------o---o-o-|
B |o-----------o-------o-----------|o---o-------o-------o-----o-----|
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + )
