Enjoy the great Bernard Purdie, who turned 85 this year, explain 16th ghost notes. The real fun starts about three minutes in when he starts talking about the high hat. Creator of the Purdie Shuffle, which Wikipedia describes as the "use of triplets against a half-time backbeat". Sounds right to me!
Of course that gives me an excuse to insert this video of Purdie playing on Home At Last, a Steely Dan track from their 1977 album Aja.
