New Orleans Second-Line Funk Drum Beat
The syncopated, parade-rooted funk of the Meters and second-line drumming, with a broken kick pattern and snare accents that dance off the downbeats. The displaced snare hits and bouncing sixteenths give it that rolling, off-kilter strut you can't sit still to.
Press play to hear it, then open the full machine to edit, loop, and play along with your own kit.
What this teaches
Internalizing syncopation and snare displacement off the straight backbeat to play the second-line shuffle feel.
