Offbeat open hat

The pattern

What you'll play

Open hat on every "and", closed hat ticks, a clap in bar 2. Open hat on every "and", a soft closed hat on every "a" right after it. Bar 2 adds one clap on beat 4 as a pickup.

Hear it first

The open hat breathes, the closed hat adds shuffle.

Play it clean

Right ring plays the open hat, right middle the closed hat. Left middle claps on beat 4 of bar 2. Swing is 56%: every off-beat 16th lands a little late, so let those hits lean back instead of rushing them. Pass with 85% as the tempo goes 112 → 116 → 120 BPM.
