This weeks “Track of the week” is The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson, this is a fantastic track to play to for those of you in an intermediate- advanced bracket. It uses triplets on the hi hat that can either be played single handed or split between the two if necessary. It has a lot of stops too so is good for your counting and following of the track. There are a good few opportunities to play some fills too however concentrating on the groove is the most important thing to start with.
