Re: Fills
I believe you need to develop your own style, which includes when, what and how you incorporate fills into a song. One of the reasons I love playing Blues; you play what you feel at the time, which is often never the same way twice. Plus, no one is expecting you to play a fill “just like the record”.
My other belief for fills is keep it simple and follow the basic rhythm and feel of the song. Sometimes a few rhythmic beats on the snare and hi-hat or floor tom is better than anything.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
