I think the half time shuffle is one of my fav grooves. This is a great lesson on where to put the ghost notes. I particularly like the one on the middle triplet of beat three. I need to work on that one! Thanks Billy.

For a drummer like myself that doesn't read, from your lessons I am almost able to understand the notation for the drums. The lessons are very thorough and accurate! Oh and that cat you have thumpin' the bass ain't to bad either! LOL! Nice work man and great editing. DC Soul Baby!

I love how it opens up with the Bass Jam, you can really lead us into the lesson this way!

I love the term "Groove Setting"... what is that anyways? Hehe.. Great lesson, again thanks! The full page notation looks killer!
