Pluggnb drum pattern
Written at 130-150 BPM, felt in half-time; dreamy R&B over plugg bounce, soft keys under loud drums. 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 pluggnb drums go
Plugg drums: a funky four-bar kick the 808 doubles, the clap on beat 3, a shaker on 2 and 4, open-hat eighths with sixteenth and thirty-second fills in bars 1 and 3, a short snare roll at the end of bars 2 and 4; punchy and distorted.
