Probably the most common way to accompany the rhythm of another instrument is to play it with the bass drum. Especially the bass part is often played along this way.
In this example, I play the clapped rhythm exactly like this with the bass drum, but play the snare only on beat three.
This is called halftime because it sounds slower.
We are used to the snare always being played on beat two and four, so it sounds half as fast when the snare is only played on the three.
Do you like this groove? Do you have any other ideas on how to implement the clapped rhythm on the drums?
