Practice notes
The D-beat (named after Discharge): kick on 1, snare on 2, then kicks on the "and" of 2 and on 3 before the snare on 4 — "boom-CRACK-ba-boom-CRACK". Relentless and driving; keep the crash-ride washing on every eighth.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
