Practice notes

A famous fusion groove borrowed from Cuban music: a cowbell line with a syncopated accent pattern, the snare filling the gaps with ghost notes and a kick on the "and" of 2 and 4. Learn the cowbell part alone first — it's the map for everything else.

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