| 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 | 12 |

| Snare hand | 4 |
| Kick foot | 2 |
| All three together | 1 |
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

“La Pollera Colorá” (Wilson Choperena) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 8 BPM slower — a good warm-up before this one. La Pollera Colorá →
