Layer some tablas, ubu's, just get some ethnic drum layered with normal drums, and make them hit hard but soft. Also if youi notice, the snaress used in both songs, aren't really "snares", they're more like disorted kick drums with a liquid effect. Liste again and you know what I mean.
I honestly believe Timbaland has the hardest drums. I believe Carlos is associaed with Timbaland and the the Mosley Group, I think this would explain the Timbo flavor he has on this track.
