There aren't really any techniques to new beats; you've just got to learn the new beats (unless you're talking blast beats, etc.). I would suggest listening to songs you know have a fairly simple beat and either trying to work it out by listening to it or looking at some tabs for it. Learning to play songs, I find, is the best way to learn new beats (especially if you listen to a variety of genres). Do you take drum lessons?

But yeah as you probably guessed, I play drums and I'm absolutely loving it. I also play bass a bit but I'm awful at it. But still pretty fun.

Thats all there is. For example jungle beats, or triplet beats, and many other beats that involve something different than a 4/4 or 2/4 rock beat.

Not sure what you're trying to say here... That's what I was saying, there aren't any specific techniques you need to learn to play them - you play them all the same way - you just need to learn the different timings, etc.
