Joe Smooth - Promised Land (Drum Pattern No. 59) (Patreon)

Happy 707 day everyone :) I didn't know this track before, so thanks to our Patron Romain Dargelosse for suggesting it! This pattern needs a trio of drum machine sounds: 707 for the rhythm groundwork, 727 for the Conga sounds and 808 for the electronic Conga + Cowbell part. Don't forget to put the High Conga and Muted High Conga into a choke group. All in all a very interesting layer cake of rhythms - I'd love to make an end jam out of this!

I actually mapped out the entire song for the runthrough, but in the transcription it made more sense to again create a pattern construction kit for you with the individual elements. The slowed down sample gives you multiple runthroughs of the base pattern being built up layer by layer (707 groundwork, 727 congas, 707 tom fill, 808 parts).
