Here is an example of applying swung feel/microtiming within a rhythmic patterns. This exercise can be useful especially for intermediate djembe players. In video you can hear two simple binary djembe grooves.

1) B-TB-BSSTTSSTTSS
2) B-TB-BTTSSTTSSTT

First I play groove with almost straight feel, then I switch into its modified swung version where slaps are wider apart and tonics are played as flam.
The feeling is somewhere in cracks between binary and ternary.

Keep in mind this is just an example how you can modulate patterns, of course there more types of swing and microtime phrasing possibilities.
