Practice notes

The kick plays a double "heartbeat" at the start of each half bar while a soft sidestick marks 2 and 4. It's simple on purpose — the challenge is keeping it perfectly steady and quiet. The chorus swaps the sidestick for a full snare.

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