Travis Barker Latin Drum Beat - 'Dysentery Gary'

Travis Barker Latin Drum Beat – ‘Dysentery Gary’

Description

For this week's drum lesson we return to the track 'Dysentery Gary', an early Blink 182 track with a cracking little latin groove in the pre-chorus. The groove has an up tempo bossa nova vibe, with right hand alternating between the bell and the ride, and the right foot playing the classic samba pattern.
