Practice notes

Lean on the kick and keep the ghost snares barely audible. The flam's grace note (left thumb on the alt snare pad) lands just before the backbeat — keep it soft. Start at 70 BPM with the metronome and work up.

The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
