It's the same thing. Slight variation in the footwork, but the timing is still very much the same. I am sure when you go to lindy exchanges you'd see people doing a myriad of shim sham variations, but they all will work and fit in together.
A simple analogy is when you do triple time and your partner is doing single or double time - the footwork variation is different, but the count and rhythm is the same, thus everything fits together.
Huh, I can'y find the version I was taught on youtube. Maybe I was taught a strange version, but instead of the right tap, left tap, step, step, step, step we did step, hop, step, hop, step, together, jump out and in.

isn't it called the TAP-break, because that's where they did shuffle ball-changes?
