| Kick |
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 | 16 |
|---|---|
| Snare hand | 2 |
| Kick foot | 4 |
Every kick lines up with a cymbal stroke; the challenge is keeping 16 even strokes per bar in the cymbal hand at 100 BPM.
