There are a few ways to try. This should get you started:

Look up Help, Shots Holds Pushes.

Try recording the song with Shots, then freeze the tracks except the drum track, then remove the shots.

To be most effect getting a fill, as opposed to just having the drums play alone in a break, then be sure to put a part marker (green or blue) in each bar. Part markers cause drum fills.

There may be other ways, including some RealDrums that play fills, but I haven't fooled with that yet.
