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

| Snare hand | 2 |

Every kick lines up with a cymbal stroke, which makes this one of the easiest coordination patterns to start with.

How it differs from similar beats
Compared with “Come As You Are” (Nirvana, rock beat with 8th notes), this groove adds kick notes on 1& — and it runs at the same tempo. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. Come As You Are →
“Livin' on a Prayer” (Bon Jovi) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 3 BPM faster — a good next step once this one feels easy. Livin' on a Prayer →
