I will search for it now.
The Purdie shuffle has become kind of 'my thing' lately. It works for blues, swing, country. When I'm sitting in, I just vary the amount of swungness on the hats and place the ghost note as necessary for desired shuffle level.

I play the Purdie shuffle for hours, all night. You can move the time over to the ride, or open the hats at different spots. I hardly ever play fills or hit crashes anymore.
