Here's a super groovy piece of 6:8 meter I stumbled on yesterday while shopping for my next preamp:

The musical movement sounds, to me, like wisps of mist rising over a swift moving stream.
I think it is a good example of how, after a musician learns to play steady time, they can further their expressiveness by grooving a bit. I also think it is good example of how music can be groovy regardless of whether someone is playing the drums.
best regards,

6/8 is always great fun. You can groove to the 4's and/or the 3's and switch between the two at any time yet it still makes sense. It always provides a good rolling sense of movement and flow.
