Bright cells are accents, dim ones are ghost notes. Each row is a pad; each column is a 16th note.

What you'll play

8th hats that lean on the snare, open hat at the end of bar 2. Hats on every 8th. They are soft, except on the "and" of 2 and 4, where they hit with the snare. Bar 2 adds the extra snare and opens the last hat.

Hear it first

The loud hats glue to the snare.
