Here's my entry for the #SweetBeatChallenge by Sweetwater and Casey Cooper. I'm a bit late to the game with this but wanted to get an entry in!
The first 4 bars are Casey's groove. I then add in a kind of Steve Gadd inspired stepped hi hat pattern. I move it over to the bell for a new sound and some contrast to the stepped hi hat, and start to play around with accents on the snare and changing up the tom fills.
