I think that, when it comes right down to it, all fills are based on rudiments. Just as a sax solo is based on scales, and words are based on letters.
Can you be a bit more specific about what you’re looking for?
Probably sextuplet things based on a paradiddle-diddle (RLRRLL). I just discovered offsetting the sticking to RLLRRL which helps put the accents in the right place and swing it.

I think that last would a six stroke roll?
I play this fill to the point of overuse (at the very start of the clip so you only need listen for 1 second http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2YfdbaL_oA
Basically, I'm using ruffs to play a faux 5-stroke roll on the snare, followed by the mounted tom hit. It's a standard soul music fill as far as I can tell. Otherwise, as Jon said, flams and singles. Accented singles can take you just about anywhere.
That's a cool one. The Funk Brothers drummer like that one.
BTW, nice job on that tune.
