Find a muse.
Thought this thread was going to be about what do you do if it happens in the middle of a song, my answer to that is usually buzz rolls or a 4/4 ride/snare beat.
Yes, try to listen to as many styles of music as possible, find out what inspires you.
Sometimes at the beginning of a practice session I don't know where to start, so I usually
just start jamming a simple groove or motivic idea on the toms. Most times it'll come.
