Practice notes

The most sampled drum break in hip-hop was built like this: sixteenth hats with one open lift, a syncopated kick, and a snare line where the ghost notes carry as much groove as the backbeat. Get the ghost notes quiet and even before you speed up.

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