None of them
Polyrythmic Rock Beat RD- ride cymbal (b = bell of cymbal) HH- hi hat (O = open hit) SD- snare drum FT- floor tom BD- bass drum HF- hi hat with foot This exercise should help out with your timing and four way independence. The bass drum hits are constantly on every three sixteenth notes, so you are basically doing a 3 over 4 poly-rythm. There are a few ways to look at it. Here it is as three 4/4 measures: (-) = 16th HH|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-| SD|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---| BD|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---| or you can look at it as two 6/4 measures: HH|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-| SD|---- o--- ---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o--- ---- o---| BD|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---| or as four 3/4 measures: HH|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-| SD|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-| BD|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---| And of course, try differnt snare hits and play around with it however you like.
