Practice notes

The famous "drunk" feel: hats almost straight, kicks a touch early and the snare dragging late, so the three never quite agree. Don't fix it — the tension between them is the groove. Loop bar 1 until the late snare feels natural, not sloppy.

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