Recipes like this one lend themselves well to experimentation when you may not have as much experience. Changing one of the spices at a time will give you a good idea how different flavors can interact. Try using freshly ground black pepper, ground allspice or ground cloves. Using dried herbs like thyme or oregano can create a whole new rub.
