Practice notes

The slow, heavy blues: twelve eighths per bar on the ride, a deep snare on 2 and 4 and a kick that leans into beats 1 and 3 with a pickup. Every note is exposed at this tempo — lay back and let it ache.

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