Drum pattern
| Snare | ||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 0 |
|---|---|
| Snare hand | 2 |
| Kick foot | 2 |
| Kick notes without a cymbal | 2 |
The tricky spot is the 2 kick notes that fall between cymbal strokes — practice hand and foot on their own there before playing the whole groove.
