itll help sound more realistic if you put an accent before the roll, or make the roll a little softer than the stuff around it

Supplementing Reply 2, you could add a few dynamic variations within the duration of the drum roll as well.  They play back effectively if preceded and followed by dynamic markings, eg.:
