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 | 8 |
|---|---|
| Snare hand | 2 |
| Kick foot | 3 |
| Kick notes without a cymbal | 1 |
The tricky spot is the one kick note that fall between cymbal strokes — practice hand and foot on their own there before playing the whole groove.

How it differs from similar beats
Compared with “Whole Lotta Love” (Led Zeppelin, rock beat with 8th notes), this groove adds kick notes on 2a and leaves out the kick on 3 — and it runs at the same tempo. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. Whole Lotta Love →
“Still D.R.E.” (Dr. Dre) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 3 BPM faster — a good next step once this one feels easy. Still D.R.E. →
