Time to get some variation in beats. Here are some to do:
Beat_3-1.ogg Pattern 1 music Beat_3-2.ogg Pattern 2 Beat 3-3.ogg Pattern 3
The first one - you'll have to do 2 bass drum hits in a row, and one of them will be in-between 2 hi-hat hits!

This next one has only 1 bass drum hit in a row, but one is between 2 hi-hat hits and straight before a snare drum!
HH|x---x---x---x---|
T1|----------------|
Sn|----o-------o---|
T2|----------------|
T3|----------------|
BD|o---------o-----|
This one is going to be the hardest beats from this wikibook so far! It is longer than any so far, too. Don't get frustrated if you don't get it quickly, take your time - start slow then gradually speed up.
