“Heartbreaker From Tennessee” by Dasha
A few of my favorite parts…
1. Intro Groove (0:02)
The drums don’t waste any time getting started on this one. The intro has all limbs going; quarter notes on the hi-hat keeps time while the left-hand does a steady 8th note pulse on the rack tom rim, providing the bed of sound for the floor tom accents.
2. Chorus (0:36)
The chorus groove is driving with a 4 on the floor kick pattern, and a fun albeit challenging motif between the rack tom and floor tom. Nailing those hits really helps set up the energy of the vocals throughout this chorus.
2. Outro Chorus (1:31)
As the final chorus hits we reach the peak of the song in both energy and rhythmic allowances… put simply, now’s the time to land some more interesting fills while still being musical.
