Caaron,

Seems a simple solution to me (correct me if I'm wrong).

You are writing/producing modern (current) country.

Put a Luke Bryan CD on your iPod. Slap on some headphones. Sit down to a drum set and learn every song on the CD until you can play along without missing a beat (pun intended - or not...)

When you've got that, move to a Rascal Flatts CD. Rinse. Repeat.

FGL. Rinse. Repeat.

Billy Currington....

After a few, you should pretty much have the current "drum fill feel" down pat.

No need to complicate it.
