You need a so-called foot-tapping algorithm.
Neural networks are supposed to be good at this (I don't know whether
they are fucking good). There must be something on the web. If not,
there'll be loads of stuff in the Computer Music Journal.
Are you /sure/ you want the drums sync'd to /everything/ that tightly?
Wasn't it Mozart who encouraged a rubato independent of the left hand in
his piano sonatas? Different genre, I guess. Anyway, almost certainly,
a NN approach wouldn't quite work and you'd get the effect you desired
anyway 8-)
