Practice notes
Live drums that sound edited: a swung one-bar loop, then bar 2 "chops" the backbeat a sixteenth late, like a sampler cut. Play bar 1 until it's a machine, then make the late snare in bar 2 feel deliberate, not rushed.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
