Practice notes
A hard, clipped New York beat: a punchy kick pattern that answers itself across two bars and a snare that cracks with a clap layered just behind it. Keep the hats short and let the kick doubles on "a" do the talking.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
