Practice notes
The blast beat: kick and cymbal on every eighth, snare on every sixteenth in between — a non-stop alternating stream. On pads it's a two-finger roll between kick and snare with the right hand riding along. Build speed from 90 in small steps; evenness beats volume.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
