In this variation of grouping eighth notes into six and playing them on the bass drum
as a cross meter to the swing ride pattern, we're going to play the bass drum on counts
one, four, and six. So let's set up our count first to get our bearings. Ready? One, two,
three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six.
Okay, now let's play the bass drums on count one, four, and six. One, two, three, four,
five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two,
three, four, five, six.
Okay, once we have this down, we can then apply it to the swing ride pattern and complete
the cross meter.
