Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials #74: Backbeatless Funk / R&B

The second edition of the best-selling original Groove Essentials™ features a DVD with 53 brand new grooves and over 100 variations for intermediate to advanced players! Students will learn the difference between ghost and grace notes (while being encouraged to experiment with both in all six groove "families") as well as important "go-to" grooves, like the Train and Bo-Diddley beats. For more advanced players and professionals, GE 2.0 introduces the concepts of groove construction, interpretation and manipulation- training drummers to think like musicians in order to maximize their full potential.

This is close to the Sadé "Sweetest Taboo" groove.

Where's the groups of two Tommy? It sounds like subdivisions of three to me all through that first bar. Bass drum plays first beat and & of two, click plays two and & of three all the way till last 16th on BD making 6 in total. (except penultimate snare click is left out.) that's counting 1&2&3& all the way forming a 3 against 2 polyrhythm. Three 16ths = 15 remainder one which is the one of the next group which goes over the bar line. Nice groove.
