Title: Funky Drummer (Bonus Beat Reprise)
Album: In the Jungle Groove
Tabber: Mikkel Skovgaard Nielsen (msnqotsa)

i just decided to this beat because it is nothing short but great. both technically and physically.
it has kind of "shuffle" groove to it.
Key:
B = Bass Drum
S = Snare
H = Hi-Hat
Hf= Hi-Hat Foot
o = normal Bass/Snare hit
g = ghost note
x = clean hit on the Hi-Hat w. stick tip
X = open Hi-Hat
It's just the same beat over and over, but that's the challenge - to play it as long as you can cause it
is played
in steady one-handed 16th notes with ghost note shuffles. But as soon you've figured out the balance,
it's ***
funky to play. Have fun!

note: the quick Hi-Hat/Hi-Hat Foot work make open noise sound like a silent choke*
