Well I'm no drummer so these might be too hard but some slower variation is cool too.
At the end of After Forever's Glorifying Means (it starts around 4:40) is a cool solo. There's some double bass in it but I think it's cool without them too. Well I can't really explain it but the drummer plays goes from high sounding (snare) to lowest (bass) rolls and snare-tom-snare-tom-bass. Maybe something like that is cool?
Is it really like showoff solo or sort of a variation on the rhythm too?
Is quick bass a no go at all or just not long rolls (kind of hard with one pedal anyway I'd imagine
)? I think pairs of bass are cool too like I don't know how fast this all is going to be but maybe 2x16th or as fast as the HH (8th that is right)?
Lots of hihats is cool too with some crashes here and there and a faster snare.
As far as you haven't thought of that yet you could also try changing how heavy things sound.
Also fast is not always better. Well I don't know much about drumming but you could try to get some surprises in. Like that people who listen think something is going to end in way x and you do something completely different.
Hope this helps a bit and have fun!
