best exercises to do 16th notes on hats w/ various kick beats?

[lovemysonors]

i'm trying to do 16th notes on the hats but learn different bass drums beats to go with it instead of the usual disco kind of beat with the simple kick drum placement.

any good suggestions or websites to see the music and figure out patterns?

thanks.

Two hand or one hand 16ths?

You may not need that. Simply start by playing 16ths on the HH - with or without the backbeat on 2 & 4 - and cycle through the various possibilities of bass drum patterns within a 16th-note grid.

I.e.

1...
1e..
1.&.
1..a
1.&a
1e&.
1e&a
.e..
..&.
...a
.e&.
..&a
.e.a

Then do the same on and after 2:

(2)e..
..&.
.e&.
..&a
...a
.e.a

etc.

Combine and explore doing the same for beats 3 and 4. If you're looking for this in written form, this idea is explored in great depth in Gary Chaffee's Time Functioning Patterns. The so-called "Fatback Exercises" are this process applied to various HH Ostinatos - i.e. 1/4s, 1/8s, 1/16s, and combinations.
