Go-go/Hip-hop

Go-Go and Hip-Hop are funky rock beats which use a triplet feel. Such beats are common in other styles also, such as Rap and Dance music. Go-Go and Hip-Hop beats are played as 16th note triplets, but for ease of reading, are written as eighth note triplets.

Try substituting this hi-hat pattern over the previous exercises. Such patterns are used in slower "grooves".
