Jersey club drum pattern

Fast and bouncy; the five-kick run, with the back half pushed into a 3-3-2. Here are its drums on a step grid, at the tempo it starts at, to hear and to change.

The pattern, step by step

Each step is a sixteenth note, four to a beat: step 1 is beat 1, 5 is beat 2, 9 is beat 3 and 13 is beat 4. A lit square is a hit; a fainter one is played softer.

How Jersey club drums go

The five-kick bar: kicks on sixteenths 1, 5, 9, 12 and 15 (beats 1, 2, 3, the a of 3, the and of 4); the snare doubles the end of the run (beat 3 and the a of 3, adding the and of 3 every other bar) instead of a flat backbeat; closed hats on 2 and 4; bed squeaks in the gaps; a triplet kick ending or kick-roll switch-up every few bars.
