EIGHTS01

A  mid tempo drum and percussion phrase for anything from Rock  to 
MOR.  Also good as a general purpose backbeat. This pattern builds 
from  one  using a rim shot on beat 2 of the bar.  The  bass  drum 
accents beat 1 of the bar and syncopates in eighths. The closed hi 
hat plays beats 1,3 and 4.  

For the main groove, we bring the snare and tambourine in on beats 
2  and  4 of the bar and the hi hat is now playing  quarter  notes 
while  the congas play a CHACHA phrase (see  CHACHA1A).  The  bass 
drum always accents beats 1 and 3 of the bar with light syncopated 
eighths between beats 3 and 4 of the bar.
