Rolling shaker

The pattern

What you'll play

16th shaker with a soft-loud shape, a ghost snare in bar 2. The shaker plays every 16th: medium, soft, loud, soft, on every beat. Bar 2 adds a ghost snare just before beat 4 and the extra kick on the "and" of 4.

Hear it first

The shaker is the engine. The loud one is always on the "and".

Play it clean

Right middle on the shaker the whole time. Left index kick, left middle snare. Pass with 85% as the tempo goes 88 → 92 → 96 BPM.
