Practice notes

A smooth 90s slow jam: swung sixteenth hats, a rim-and-snare backbeat with a finger snap layered behind it, and a soft kick that follows the bass. At this tempo every hat is exposed — keep them even and quiet.

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