Asymmetrical stockings Part 2

I've been seeing a few of these type of things recently in Cruise Ship Drummer and Max Senitt's site, which makes me think there might be this mass drum consciousness we're all turned into!
Anyway, it's simple a paradiddle and an extras stroke and the same thing off of the left hand, thusly:
RLRRLRLLR/LRLLRLRRL
A nice nine beat sticking played off of each hand. Some possible things to do with it.

!) A bar of triplets in 3/4. Could be an afro cuban thing possible
2) Same as 1) but could play it in four so it goes over the barline.
3) Played as 8th notes in 4 so it goes over the barline.
4) Played as two bars of 9/8
5) Played as an odd grouping nonet in two bars of 4/4

etc. etc. etc.
Have fun!
