I've been playing for a couple months now and I'm getting to a point where the basic 8 hat 4 bass 2 snare beat is coming naturally, but now I need to work on keeping each limb independent of all the others. The way your system does 8ths on the hat then randomizes the snare and bass helps me break out of that pattern, and being able to visualize the beats as loops is a lot easier for me than reading sheet music. I'm really having a lot of fun with this.
