the thing that led to this was i was trying to figure out how to maintain that initial snare pattern (those are taps) with a ride pattern that went into double time, so thats the first line. Then once the double time in the ride kicked in it became apparent that some of the hits made it sound less musical (i.e. like a line) so where they both hit I played it both ways, 1) maintaining the double time ride pattern and dropping a snare hit and then 2) as written 2nd line down which is what I decided sounded cooler. The accents on the ride pattern are sort of naturally where they fall, with the exception of the upbeat of beat 1 in the event that its measure 1. Once the pattern repeats it sounds tho.
This beat owes the kick placement ideas to the half time shuffle, which is a beat Brian showed me that Bohnam did on a Zepplin track whose name I cant quite remember right now.
PS this is marked as triplets and probably could be used for a fill in 4/4 and might sound cool, but probably its best in a 6/8 feel.
