Start with the pocket
A good beat needs less than you think.
Every lane moves left to right through one bar. Active steps make sound when the playhead sweeps across them. Start simple, listen for the space, then add one detail at a time.
Answer with the snare
Steps 5 and 13 are beats two and four. A snare or clap there creates the familiar backbeat.
Let the hats move
Try closed hats on odd-numbered steps, then use swing and one open hat to loosen the pattern.
