I am jumping into the deep end trying to learn this as a beginner, but I figure if I keep trying I will eventually get it. The problem is that this is the first groove I have studied that presents an independence issue that I don't know how to overcome.
I can play the bass and snare. I can play the snare and HH. But I cant play the HH and BD together. I keep the 8ths going on the HH, but whenever I try to do the quick bass notes, my HH picks up the same rythym. I can't just keep playing 8ths on HH!
Can someone make a suggestion how to break through this limitation? This is kinda scary as it seems no matter how much I try, I am not making progress. Its like the right side of my body is wired together.
