Awesome! This RLRR-LRRL (and of course all the inversions and variations you can imagine) is a big part of the great Johnny Vidacovich's playing as well.

I think this approach sounds good with a samba foot ostinato as well, pretty obvious variation I've been tinkering with. Thanks! Best drumming blog! -Joel
