Practice notes

The galloping "da-da-DUM" of classic heavy metal: the kick plays an eighth and two sixteenths on every beat, locked with the guitar riff, while the snare hits 2 and 4. Alternate two fingers on the kick pad — one finger can't keep up.

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