Description

Dominic Howard lays down an alternating ride/crash ostinato over a 5/4 groove. Sound odd? Probably, but it's oddly great! The beat isn't too difficult to nail. It is an exercise in independence with your leading hand, but it's one of those grooves that is instantly recognizable. Thanks to Steve Ley for this notation!
