16th Snare Groove - Positano & Sorrento, Italy
With an underlying 4 on the floor feel on bass drum, this groove uses accents within 16ths and 32nd notes:
- 7 stroke 32nd note roll to begin, with accented 16th pattern to follow

Shuffle Groove - random windmill, Holland
Triplet style shuffle beat great for Blues and other shuffle time feels:

Half time 16th feel, using the triple stroke on the hihats:
- Detailed explanation on how to make any halftime groove, feel right
