Superstition Pocket was the Daily Beat for 25 October 2026: a two-bar Funk drum groove at 101 BPM, rebuilt by ear on a kick, snare and hi-hat grid. The grid itself is not shown here, so the puzzle is still worth playing.
What to listen for
Clavinet funk. The feet are plain; listen to where the hi-hat doubles up. Dry and exact. The kick is a plain quarter-note pulse; the syncopation lives in the hat hand, not the feet. Find the snare first, then place the kick around it and count the hi-hat last.
Where to hear this feel
Records in this family include Stevie Wonder – Superstition. They are listening suggestions for the feel, not transcriptions.
