## 5. Compositional Notes
* **The "Push":** The kick drum on the "and" (&) of beats 2 and 4 drives the energy forward.
* **The Break:** In Bar 4, the silence of the hi-hat emphasizes the snare/kick unison hits, creating a "stop" before a potential chorus or verse entry.
* **Velocity:** For maximum realism, the snare hits on 2 and 4 should be the strongest hits in the sequence.
