Practice notes
Two fingers, one job: keep time. Left middle finger plays the kick on every beat, left index adds the snare on 2 and 4. In the chorus your right hand joins with eighth notes on the hat. Play along with the metronome at 60 BPM until you stop drifting, then speed up.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
