Practice notes
Linear drumming: no two sounds ever hit together. Hats, snare and kick share one continuous line of sixteenths, grouped in fives and threes so the accents drift across the bar. Very hard — take it at 60 first and count every group out loud.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
