The Knife - Heartbeats (Drum Pattern No. 93) (Patreon)

This is my drum pattern transcription in the style of "The Knife - Heartbeats". This was the very close runner-up of our last drum pattern poll and I have to say it's an extremely interesting rhythm. This marks the first time we make contact with dotted 16th notes in a transcription :)

The original is a pretty eclectic mix with samba percussion. Let us know if you have any idea whether these are from a specific drum machine. We didn't have any samba percussion sounds on hand, so of course we turned it into an 808 version ;) I didn't destructively merge any instruments which means you can substitute the sounds to get closer to the original again.

Be warned, this pattern involves quite a bit of microtiming and flam trickery!
