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 | 1 |
| Kick foot | 3 |
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 “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Nirvana, grunge open hi-hat beat), this groove leaves out the kick on 3, adds snare accents on 3 and drops the snare on 2 and 4 — and it runs 33 BPM slower. If you can already play that one, this is your next step. Smells Like Teen Spirit →
“Iron Man” (Black Sabbath) uses exactly the same simplified pattern, 8 BPM slower — a good warm-up before this one. Iron Man →
