Practice notes

Think like a drummer, not a beatmaker: the hat hand never stops, the kick answers the snare, and the tom fill walks high to low. Accent the hats on the beat and play the offbeats a touch softer for a real-kit feel.

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