# Drum Groove Lesson: Example Four
In example four, we're going to be joining together everything we've been practicing, and we're going to form our first proper drum groove.
## Key Components of the Groove:
- **Hi-hats in unison with the bass drum**
- **Hi-hats in unison with the snare**
This creates the normal kind of groove that you would hear. We are all working towards playing the piece **Power Trip**.
### Important Notes:
- This playing example is a **two-bar pattern**.
- Here’s how it will work:
- I will play **two bars**.
- Then, there will be a **whole bar of rest**.
- Following the rest, there will be a **bar of counting**.
- You will then play your **two bars**.
- Afterward, rest for **one bar**.
- We will do another **counting**.
### Sequence Breakdown:
1. **I play:** 2 bars
2. **Rest:** 1 bar
3. **Counting:** 1 bar
4. **You play:** 2 bars
5. **Rest:** 1 bar
6. **Counting:** 1 bar
We will repeat this process until we’re all finished.
**Counting out loud:**
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
