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 | 4 |
| Kick foot | 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 “No Woman, No Cry” (Bob Marley & The Wailers, one drop reggae beat), this groove adds kick notes on 1, adds snare accents on 2, 2a, 4 and 4a and drops the snare on 3 — and it runs 42 BPM faster. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. No Woman, No Cry →
“Isn't She Lovely” (Stevie Wonder) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 1 BPM slower — a good warm-up before this one. Isn't She Lovely →
