This lesson is similar to that on grooves with Double 16th Kicks Starting On An Eighth Note. In these grooves the second note of the double sixteenth will be on an eighth note. This presents slightly more of a challenge on your co cordination so don't be afraid to start slow and build the patterns up if you need to. Make sure you have the counting correct before playing, there is a counting checker included for each example.
