Practice notes
A Brazilian samba played by a fusion drummer: the kick plays the samba surdo pattern (1, "a", 3, "a"), the ride plays straight sixteenths with accents, and the snare scatters rimclicks and ghost notes across the top. Keep the kick pattern perfectly steady — it's the engine.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
