Practice notes
Go-go is funk that never stops: a swung hat, a kick on 1 and the "a" of 2, a cowbell locking the off-beats and toms standing in for the congas. The pocket should feel so steady that a whole crowd could dance to it for an hour.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
