Advanced Linear(ish) Drum Beat

By Alex Ribchester

In this week's lesson we have got a tricky little groove with a 90% linear sticking pattern.
The only time we are layering two voices on top of each other is the very first note - beat 1.
After that we have got a challenging combination of 16th notes and 32nd double strokes.
Below is a breakdown of each section that, I would suggest getting used too before playing
the groove in its entirety. Good luck and have fun!
