Up-tempo bossa nova

“

- The next song we're gonna play is "Desafinado" and it's an uptempo bossa nova and it goes like this. One. Two. One, two, three, four. So let's start by getting our feet moving. We're gonna alternate between the bass drum and the hi-hat with this foot pattern and we're gonna play eighth notes on the ride like this. And first I want to play it slowly. So now when that's played up to tempo, it's gonna sound like this. One. Two. One, two, three, four. So now let's bring in some of the rim clicks and we're gonna start slowly again this time and then we'll bring it up to tempo later. Here we go. Now when that's played up to tempo, it sounds like this. One. Two. One, two, three, four. Next, let's add in all the rest of the rim clicks and we're gonna play it slowly at first, like this. One. Two. One. Two. Three. Four. And now up to tempo, it sounds like this. One. Two. One, two, three, four.
