Daft Punk’s 2013 hit, with Omar Hakim on drums, brings back live disco drumming: four on the floor, a crisp hi-hat and a relaxed, smooth feel.
The drums are played live by Omar Hakim, not programmed. Modern Drummer singles out his hi-hat: small doubles slipped into the pattern, a sticking detail you barely hear but clearly feel.

Each row is one drum, each column one step. Large dots are accents, small dots normal hits, faint dots ghost notes.

| All three together | 2 |
Every kick lines up with a cymbal stroke, which makes this one of the easiest coordination patterns to start with.
At about 116 BPM it has a medium tempo: one beat lasts 517 ms and a 4/4 bar takes 2.1 seconds. Use the tempo buttons to slow it down while you learn.
Watch out: Stamina, not speed: the album version runs about 178 bars at an unchanging 116 BPM, and the relaxed feel falls apart as soon as you start to rush.
Compared with “Highway to Hell” (AC/DC, basic rock beat), this groove adds kick notes on 2 and 4, plays quarter notes on the cymbal instead of straight 8ths and opens the hi-hat — and it runs at the same tempo. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. Highway to Hell →
Same pattern and tempo as “Treasure”, but not the same workout: Get Lucky runs about 178 bars, “Treasure” about 86. Treasure →
