Part 2: Ostinato B (Title Page)

Part 2 introduces Ostinato B: an eighth note on the downbeat followed by two sixteenth notes (counted: 1 & ah, 2 & ah…). This rhythm shifts the weight of the groove, creating a forward-leaning, slightly syncopated feel that demands new timing awareness and coordination. As you work through the exercises, you’ll retrain your internal pulse, develop smoother transitions between subdivisions, and learn to maintain rhythmic clarity even as the bass and snare voices become more complex. Ostinato B opens the door to funkier, more elastic grooves—and trains your hands and feet to respond with precision and flow.
