Syncope pattern

Syncopation rhythms are fun to play! You place emphasis between the beats. This might make it a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will find that it is great to be able to play. In the beginning, count along out loud as shown in the image. The pattern switches hands starting from the first beat.

Practice this with the slow or faster drum track.
