Shoutout to David who was working on this yesterday, and everyone else asking about it too. I've made various videos about this one before, but here's the potted version - The classic Bo Diddley beat!
Please do make sure you're playing it as a single stroke roll! For the right-hander, the accented notes will fall on right, left, right - right, right.
You can also place a smaller accent on the "e" of beat 3, with the left hand (for right handers) when playing at speed to get this pattern to really flow.. like I did at the start of this vid.
