Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Land crash and kick together on the last offbeat after a tom descent. 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. Snare at 1; Snare at 1.5; Mid tom at 2; Mid tom at 2.5; Floor tom at 3; Floor tom at 3.5; Crash at 4.5; Kick at 4.5; Snare at 5; Snare at 5.5; Mid tom at 6; Mid tom at 6.5; Floor tom at 7; Floor tom at 7.5; Crash at 8.5; Kick at 8.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
