Love this guy- never heard of him until I picked up his DVD on a whim one day. Fucking BLOWN away by how good he is.
Check out The Language of Drumming, it has some incredible practice techniques. Then again, watching Benny Greb play makes me feel so inferior I want to quit. In all seriousness, this DVD is a must-have.
//edit: grammar
Half way through this video there is some great help on fills.

As for beats there are too many to mention but I thoroughly recommend Mr. Greb's dvd, sacks of knowledge on how to go about creating, implementing and controlling all the different patterns oot there.

I practice my left foot exactly as I practice the right, try playing a pattern with your right foot for a bar then playing the same pattern on the left for a bar, alternating hands between hats and ride. And yes, always start slowly and gradually get faster. This will help build the dexterity in your left foot and make it not feel like there is a brick tied to it! Happy drumming my friend :)
