I know these aren't real drums, but it's all I have, I'm wondering how to put a triplet beat or fill in on the fruity loops program.

The easiest way I found to do a triplet is to:
1) figure out how many milliseconds the triplet will take (a beat is 60,000/bpm so a quater-note at 120bpm is 500ms)
2) Create a new file of that length in Soundforge
3) Copy the hit and paste it in 3 times
4) save the hit as a .wav file in the Fruity Samples folder
5) light the tick where I want it to start
in other words, I create a triplet hit and then just kick it off in Fruity. May be other ways to do it but this is quick, dirty and no-fail.

There's a much simpler way... In the sampler browser, there's a tab that says- HUMANIZE PRESETS..under that is a sub-menu that says GROOVES and in that tab theres a button that says triplets...Click and drag that button where you want it. It only works for the sample in that specific pattern, which can be good or bad.
For example, to do swing time...drag the triplet tab onto your ride cymbal sample and place a beat on ONE TWO an THREE FOUR an
It should look like this
!---!-!-!---!-!-
you can do quarter notes the same way
The other way might be easier, but I dont have sound forge, so I can't tell you

This is actually very simple to do, especially if you are using the piano roll.
If your version of Fruity has a piano roll:
1. turn on the piano roll on the drum channel you want to program with triplets by right-clicking the pattern button and selecting Piano Roll. (Note that this piano roll will apply only to the pattern you are currently working on.)
2. Set the Snap Selector to 1/3 beat by clicking it and selecting 1/3 beat from the pop-up menu. If you don't know what the Snap Selector is, go to Help > Contents, then expand the Panels topic, and click Recording Panel. #5 describes the Snap Selector.
3. Click on the piano roll for the drum channel to add drum hits. Note that you want to add your drum hits on the key C5 if you want them to sound the same as the actual sample. If you add them anywhere else, they will be either a lower or higher pitch, depending on where you place them. You can drag your drum hits around, and they will automatically "snap" to subdivisions of 1/3 beat. So to get 1/4 note triplet, you should place a hit on every second snap location. To get 1/8th note triplets, place a hit on every subdivision.
The included image shows 1/4 note triplets in the piano roll using this technique.

And here's how you do it in Fruity without the piano roll:
To do this, you need to know how to get to the Shift feature. To do this, click on the sampler channel you are working with. Then you can either press and hold the "G" key (this won't work if you have set Options > Typing keyboard to MIDI), or you can click the Graph Edit button. This is the little button at the top of the Step Sequencer window that looks like a graph. For more info on the Graph Edit function, go to Help > Contents, then expand the topic Step Sequencer, and click Graph Edit.
Now, on to the procedure...
1. Select the channel you are working on.
2. Click the Graph Edit button, or press and hold "G."
3. Add steps on step 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, and 13.
4. In the Graph Editor, scroll (using the clider at the bottom) to "Shift."
5. Adjust the Shift amount on steps 3 and 11 to 0:32. (The amount you have adjusted the step to is listed in the Status bar at the top of the FruityLoops window, under the Help menu item, while you are adjusting values.)
6. Adjust the Shift amount for steps 5 and 13 to 0:16. Voila! Quarter note triplets. You'll have to figure out how this math works, and eighth note triplets, on your own.
