Each row is one drum, each column one step. Large dots are accents, small dots normal hits, faint dots ghost notes.
Who plays what: notes per bar
| Cymbal hand | 8 |
|---|---|
| Snare hand | 2 |
| Kick foot | 4 |
Every kick lines up with a cymbal stroke, which makes this one of the easiest coordination patterns to start with.
