Rock Steady - Aretha Franklin with Bernard Purdie on drums
This is one baaad groove. I'm not 100% of the BD part. Maybe one of my web visitors can check out this great song by Aretha Franklin, and see if they can transcribe this any better.

First, here's the (relatively) basic groove.

|
Now, adding a 16th note in the hi hat in beat 2.
|
Opening the HH on the "ands" of 1 and 3 
|
Now, one more open sound on the last 16th note of beat 2.
