What it is
Six singles and a double, sixteen notes per cycle. Fills exactly one bar of 16th notes in 4/4, which makes it easy to use in a groove.
How to practice it
One group per bar at 70 BPM is how it fits. Accent the downbeat of each group first. Then try orchestrating the singles on the hi-hat and moving the diddles to the snare. Because the cycle is exactly a bar, anything you come up with drops straight into a groove.
Where you'll hear it
Full-bar linear patterns, solos that stay in the groove, and hand patterns around the kit in rock and funk.
