How a jersey club beat is built
The kick
The snare on two and four
Hats in eighths
Then a variation: With the vox
Kick on steps 1, 4, 7, 11 and 13. Read it as two groups: three kicks that start on the beat and get later (1, 4, 7), then two that land on the and of three and on four (11, 13). The gap between step 7 and step 11 is the breath the dancers use. Snare on 5 and 13; the kick and snare share step 13, which is the slam at the end of the pattern. Hats on the eighths, straight. The vox goes on step 16 alone, so it falls just before the next bar's first kick. The triplet variation turns steps 13, 14 and 15 into three kicks in a row, a fill that the floor expects every fourth or eighth bar.
