Practice notes

A jazz trio playing a hip-hop beat: the ride carries the time, the kick is heavy and simple, and the snare cracks on 2 and 4 with one ghost note before the bar turns. Dark, slow and heavy — don't rush it.

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