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 | 4 |
| All three together | 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 “Every Breath You Take” (The Police, straight pop 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 13 BPM faster. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. Every Breath You Take →
“September” (Earth, Wind & Fire) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 4 BPM slower — a good warm-up before this one. September →
