Song: Cool hi-hat groove By: Dean Christesen _______ ______ _______ ______ _______ ______ _______ ______ _______ | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 8 | H |XxXx-xxXxXxx-xXx|Xxxx-XxXxxxxXxXx|xxxX-XxxxxXxXxxx|xXxX-xxxXxXx-xX-| S |----o-------o---|----o-------o---|----o-------o---|----o-------o---| B |o-o----o-o----o-|o----o-o----o-o-|---o-o----o-o---|-o-o----o-o---o-| Hf |-x-x----x-x----x|-x----x-x----x-x|----x-x----x-x--|--x-x----x-x----| (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ) The open hi-hats are on 1 & 3 of each 7/16 phrase. One 7/8 measure equals two 7/16 measures, so I\'ll put this into 7/8 for you: | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 --> H |XxXx-xxXxXxx-x|XxXxxx-XxXxxxx|XxXxxxxX-Xxxxx|XxXxxxxXxX-xxx| S |----o-------o-|------o-------|o-------o-----|--o-------o---| B |o-o----o-o----|o-o----o-o----|o-o----o-o----|o-o----o-o----| Hf |-x-x----x-x---|-x-x----x-x---|-x-x----x-x---|-x-x----x-x---| (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+) The remaining 8/16 bar (2/4) ---> 8 | H |XxXx-xX-| S |----o---| B |o-o---o-| Hf |-x-x----| (1 + 2 + ) Have fun and good luck.
