Many of the drum rhythms on this site were created spontaneously on a drum kit. In contrast, this beat was constructed to fit a song written by a friend of mine, who is, as I type this, madly mixing tracks for his debut solo CD.
This groove is a simple transposition of a bass line to drum kit. I like the way it percolates beneath the song. In that context, the snare shouldn’t leap out as much as it does in these electronic simulations.
