Looking for a rudiment work out that jumps around ¼ to 1/8 to 1/16 to triplets. I want the note values to jump around to improve my timing. I find most rudiment workouts are designed one note value at a time.

Just set your metronome to click on quarter notes and play a measure of each. My teacher had me doing that with double strokes a while back but it's no longer part of my lesson plan.

Just write your own! Combine paradiddles etc at different speeds. There are infinite varieties there.

I also recommend you check out David Stanoch's Mastering the Tables of Time. He has an entire section on the application of rudiments to the drumset in various meters. There's a reason this book is getting so much attention at them moment... (Pssst...it's because it's really good.)
Gary Chaffee's Technique Patterns book has some great exercises in mixed rhythms (which inspired my stuff). The approach isn't "rudimental" per se but they're useful nonetheless.

Thanks Boomka,
I looked at David Stanoch's videos on you tube, I thing it’s just what I'm looking for. I'm ordering his book Mastering the Tables of Time today. Do you know if he covers foot technique in the book? In the video he seems to be bouncing his heel before hitting the bass drum.

Get Stick Control, there's like 10 chapters devoted to exactly what you're looking for

David's book isn't "instructional" in the sense that he gets into specific hand or foot techniques. I think it's best to see a living teacher for that. Immediate correction and feedback is key to building good technique.
