program a simple 4/4 bassdrum...

now program a closed hat in each of the 16 steps...
press play... hats sound like a machine gun, repetitive and robotic...

now use the shuffle and flam say 6 and 9... do u notice now how the hats got really groovy, they are slightly out of time but somehow that sound more loose and funky 2 us humans! ;)

DO u hear it now?
