Getting Started, Woolway Style - Update 2

I’ve hit a sticking (no pun intented) point with one of the drum exercises in Colin Woolway’s series. Basically, it involves a tricky bass drum pattern with various hi-hat patterns over the top.

The bass drum pattern is as follows:

1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a
x x  x xx

For the record, here’s my progress so far. Note, I’m not particularly happy with it - the sixteenth hi-hats accent with the bass drum, and the left foot of the open/close sixteenth hi-hats wanders.

Rather than stall, I’ve decided to move on. Over time, I’ll get it.

All recordings are of myself playing on a Hart Dynamics/Roland TD-8 electronic drum kit - raw and unedited.
