BARRIERS

One  of the many flavours available in current dance  music,  this 
pattern  features the bass drum playing every QUARTER note of  the 
bar  while  both  hands  are busy playing  the  sixteenth  hi  hat 
pattern. Claps are used to at least emphasise beats 2 and 4 of the 
bar.

Bongos and conga are used to help this pattern along with the open 
low  conga  playing every up-beat eighth before  each  FOURTH  and 
FIRST beats of the bar.

Stopping and starting at seemingly arbitrary points in a song also 
seem to be the norm with this type of music.
