Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Divide each click into two equal hat notes. Play voices sharing a position together. 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. Closed hi-hat at 1; Closed hi-hat at 1.5; Closed hi-hat at 2; Closed hi-hat at 2.5; Closed hi-hat at 3; Closed hi-hat at 3.5; Closed hi-hat at 4; Closed hi-hat at 4.5; Closed hi-hat at 5; Closed hi-hat at 5.5; Closed hi-hat at 6; Closed hi-hat at 6.5; Closed hi-hat at 7; Closed hi-hat at 7.5; Closed hi-hat at 8; Closed hi-hat at 8.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
