Practice notes

A swung ride over seven eighths, counted 2+2+3 (1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3). The snare speaks at the start of the second group and on the second beat of the long third group, so the bar leans forward instead of limping. Get the ride's skip note swinging first — the kick and ghosts only work once the 7 feels like one long phrase.

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