• New File https://www.soundtrap.com/studio/assignment/1jdjATBTTAO0izNEj1VZOw

• Make sure the "Clean Black" Drum Kit is selected. 

• Set the metronome to 85.

• Listen to the first example in the Rhythmic Dictation File.

• Record the two-measure pattern on the drum track in Soundtrap

• Record as close to the metronome as possible.
