Searched for What's Going On and came up empty handed so can someone Please help me with this?? I've been trying to cop this simple rhythm for a long time and just can't quite get it. Can someone show me where the main strokes, slaps and opens and which hands are used without the filler Hs an Ts. I'll try to add those later. I just want the MEAT of the beat now. Thank you in advance.

John, this is the way I've been playing it.
oo s o oos
1& 2 a 3&4
It's the same as yours except no p on the & of 2. Does that really have to be in there? I'm still new, so bear with me.
Thanks,

Mango ...if that works for you , that's fine. I try to be as fluid as I can when playing, my addition of the Palm, for me, completes the pattern, though u can still play it the way ur doing it...It should be ...1+2 AND a 3+4
