Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Add an extra kick on the final beat without dropping the hat. 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; Kick at 1; Closed hi-hat at 2; Snare at 2; Closed hi-hat at 3; Kick at 3; Closed hi-hat at 4; Snare at 4; Closed hi-hat at 5; Kick at 5; Closed hi-hat at 6; Snare at 6; Closed hi-hat at 7; Kick at 7; Closed hi-hat at 8; Kick at 8; Snare at 8. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
