This is a never-ending repetitive pattern. There is no improvisation, no drum fills, no transitions. The point is DISCIPLINE. Learn to play one single pattern repetitively for several minutes without changing the pattern or the energy and flow. This requires a lot of control and focus. Towards the end of the song there is a short stop and then it goes right back into the meandering loop of the drum beat. Ride along!
Very simple Pop/Dance song. The beat is very basic but needs to be played very consistently. The challenge is in the detail and in micro timing, precision and accuracy.
