Practice notes
The first digital dancehall riddims came from a cheap keyboard preset: a 3-3-2 kick, a snare on 2 and 4 and busy rim clicks. Only three sounds — perfect for learning to hold a syncopated kick against a steady backbeat.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
