Drumless funk track

A syncopated funk bass line with octave pops and a click on the quarters. The bass leaves specific holes, and your groove either fills them or trips over them.

Fills land at the end of each section and a crash marks every new section. Loop mode ignores the structure; turn it on to play or download the full arrangement.

Try ghost note patterns between the backbeats and move your kick around the bass accents. This is the drumless track for pocket work, the skill that gets drummers hired.

Questions

What makes a funk pocket?
Playing slightly behind or dead on the click while the ghost notes stay quiet and even. Record yourself against this track; the truth is in the playback.
Can I turn the click off?
Yes. The click toggle in Drumless mode mutes it, leaving just the bass line. Good for testing whether your time survives without a safety net.
