The trouble is fills are very improvised.
Even the same fill can work different ways, for example depending on which beat you start it on.
My suggestion would be this…… try locating the end of the fill first.
Look at the last bar of your verse or chorus.
Try positioning the last note of the chosen fill on either the last quarter note, or eighth note or sixteenth note of that bar.
Only one position may sound right to you, or even all three.
Fills are unfortunately rather subjective.
You can start playing patterns in using a midi keyboard.
Also, it’s a really quick and easy idea to drag grooves that are in the ballpark of what you want from the EZdrummer library into PT and moving/deleting the midi notes until it sounds exactly how you want. That way you can keep the good feel of a drummer, but tailor the grooves exactly to your needs.
