Now you guys are talking about timing and meter. The best way to practice this is to play with a drum machine or drum track, as well as play along to records. This THE most important part to sounding good. If timing is off, it's gonna suck no matter how fancy the playing is.
I think it might be hard to convey this in a video lesson, but maybe I'll take a stab at it. There are a few things that come to mind right now...
