Herman Matthews’ Grimace

This is a transcription of a groove performed by Herman Matthews III on Drum Workshop’s American Dream II video. The look on Matthews’ face as he lays this down is pure funk.

    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +     (1/4 = 110 bpm)
RB  x   x   x   x   
SD   o o  O  o  O
KD  o  o      oo o
HH    x   x   x   x

It's a simple pattern, and Matthews makes it feel great. If it doesn't feel great when you play it, try making a sort of angry frown with your mouth.
