Epic Drum Beat – Advanced – Polyrhythm Groove

Description

Learn a tasty groove with a tricky hi-hat pattern. The result is a polyrhythmic beat with a basic kick and snare pattern and an open hi-hat every three 16th notes. Combine this idea with another groove of your choice to create an awesome two-measure loop.
