Whiter Shade Of Pale

"A Whiter Shade Of Pale" is ,apparently THE most publically played "record" of "all time" (so far,i 'spose).
The thing i always remember about this track,is the revelation,on some docu' or whatever,that the band's drummer couldnt manage the "jazzy" beat,and it was played by a "session man".
As a one-time "pop" drummer,i always have a laugh to myself.
It's just a slow,basic 4-4 pattern,and,to get that "jazzy" affect,i would say that, all you have to really DO is:
Start each "hand to hand" "fill" with,"the other hand"! Simple as that! Tell me if i'm wrong Billy Bob.
