The ghost 16th notes can be left out of the HH pattern....it still sounds fine as just straight 8th notes
as for the ride pattern (and is a lot simpler).


Great song, fantastic drummer. Quite long and repetitive but good timing practice maintaining a rocksteady
slow tempo groove for nearly 5 mins. A good song to choose if you are just embarking on playing whole
songs
(just leave out the ghost notes). Have fun with it!

I will just include here some of the different ways you can play the main groove:
