Practising with the click & groovecheck is useful test of your timing skills.  I also find it useful for practising shuffles and triplets by turning the intermediate click volume down to zero.  So, you hear the main beat click and you can see if you are in time with your triplets but without the click to guide you.  It helps to develop even timing between beats.

For some music to play to, my solution is simple - pick something you know well and make sure you play louder than the drummer on the track!
