The feel
A straight 8ths with shuffle intro in 4/4 around 118 BPM. A comfortable mid-tempo — lock the backbeat first, then shape the dynamics.
What to watch
- •Lock the shuffle triplet; the #1 mistake is letting it straighten out as you speed up.
- •Keep the quarter-note kick relentless and even — it's the engine.
