Beat #2: 12/8 rock groove

The beats are the meat of a drum blog right? Thats why Im relieved to having a second one up here. It helps even out the ranting/personal details. This one kinda got cut off at the end, but ignore the accent on the very last snare hit, that was a dumb idea. This beat came to me out of a practice beat for the half time shuffle. The practice beat was just the first triplet repeated over and over. I can barely play this at Q=60 with the hi hat as written right now, but there is only 3 parts to the beat with no technical effects so its pretty easy to practice and get better at, just practice in this order and you should be golden.

1. hands only
2. hi hat and kick only
3. snare and kick with hi hats on all three beats of the triplet
4. the beat as written really slow
