Practice notes
Trap sounds fast but the backbeat is slow: one snare per bar, on beat 3. Keep the hats in straight eighths — the rolls come later (try Night Drive or Rapid Fire when this feels easy). The kick dodges around the snare; count "1 and 2 and" out loud.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
