Practice notes

Footwork's kick plays in threes against a four-beat bar, so it keeps sliding against the claps. Count the kick as "1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2" while the claps stay on 2 and 4. It's disorienting on purpose — lock one hand before adding the other.

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