Two way co-ordination

As we did with the rock groove in Lesson 1, we need to build the pattern. But this is even more important with this groove as the bass drum note on the ‘+’ of ‘3’ is played on its own; i.e. independently.

Your hi-hat hand may want to play the same as your bass drum, so you will have to focus very carefully on what your body wants to do when you get to the ‘+’ of ‘3’. Make sure you are counting, so you know where you are.
