Adventure of a Lifetime – Coldplay
This two-measure groove propels Coldplay's latest hit 'Adventure of a Lifetime' (2015).
Coldplay drummer, Will Champion, plays the hi-hat and snare with alternating sticking – accenting the hi-hat on certain notes and strongly accenting the snare notes. The sixteenth notes are played with a light swing, making the groove a little funkier.
Here is the beat played at a moderate 70BPM. Note that the swing is less pronounced at full-speed.
