I have found that the most important part of the rudiments is alternating the left and right while practicing any rudiment.
It has helped me a great deal while playing the drum set. If I am about to start or end up on the wrong hand while playing, I can seamlessly switch to the other hand. Almost without even thinking about it. (Did that make sense to you all?)
Do you mean practicing rudiments that naturally alternate, or adding a strategic single/double/kick at certain points to reverse the leading hand, or forcing stickings that usually wouldn't alternate to do so (switching to between the left and right hand lead versions with each repetition)? Bozzio has talked about that last approach.
