Funky Half Time Groove Like Abe Cunningham

Description

This weeks lesson is a nice little 2 bar groove with a half time feel with solid 16th notes on the hi hats. We are then going to include a cool pattern of accents on the hats to really bring the drum beat to life. If you are a fan of Abe Cunningham from Deftones like me, then you should hopefully really enjoy this beat.
