Pitbull "Castle Made of Sand" Drums

Does anyone know what the drum pattern is in this song? Or just how to get the rolling snare to sound like this? The only other song I have heard these drums in is "Airplanes" by B.O.B and both songs were produced by Dj Frank E.

The pattern is:
Hat pattern (played on a snare, either ghost notes, or with the bottom rolled off) in 16ths
Kick on 1, 2&, 3
Snare on 1e&a, 4, with two 32nds on the end on the final bar, the first of which is quieter than the second.

There's also a whooshing noise on 4 and 4&.
