How to get “Dilla Time“ with this “swing independence exercise“ (J Dilla groove)

Swing Independence exercise. I had expressed this concept to explain how to get the groove in question, by swinging a single limb at a time, (a single element of the drums and then all together) in this order: Hi Hat, Kick and Snare (although the snare it shouldn’t be swinging because in this case it always plays backbeat). I wanted to share my analysis/exercise with you, because it is the same concept that J Dilla applied with the Drum Machine. And in my opinion this is the right approach to deal with these grooves.
