Stick choice, limb assignment, and dynamics are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. Snare at 1; High tom at 1.5; Snare at 2; Floor tom at 2.5; Snare at 3; High tom at 3.5; Snare at 4; Floor tom at 4.5; Snare at 5; High tom at 5.5; Snare at 6; Floor tom at 6.5; Snare at 7; High tom at 7.5; Snare at 8; Floor tom at 8.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
