Artist: James Brown
 Title:  Funky Drummer (Bonus Beat Reprise)
 Album:  In the Jungle Groove
 Tabber: Mikkel Skovgaard Nielsen (msnqotsa)
 Time:   4:20
 Bpm:    192

 
 i just decided to this beat because it is nothing short but great. both technically and physically.
 it has kind of "shuffle" groove to it.

 
 Key: 

 B = Bass Drum
 S = Snare
 H = Hi-Hat
 Hf= Hi-Hat Foot

 o = normal Bass/Snare hit
 g = ghost note
 x = clean hit on the Hi-Hat w. stick tip
 X = open Hi-Hat


 
 It's just the same beat over and over, but that's the challenge - to play it as long as you can cause it is played  
 in steady one-handed 16th notes with ghost note shuffles. But as soon you've figured out the balance, it's ***  
 funky to play. Have fun!

  note: the quick Hi-Hat/Hi-Hat Foot work make open noise sound like a silent choke*
