Practice notes

The chop is a six-note cell per beat: snare, snare, kick, snare, snare, kick — right finger, left finger, kick thumb. Learn one beat of it at 60 BPM before touching the full bar. The groove bars in between are your recovery time.

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