Groove Library – ‘Rio Frio’ Groove


A breakdown of the groove I play in the song ‘Rio Frio’ that’s featured in the performance clips from the Baked Potato gig. One of the keys to this groove is the flow of the ride cymbal pattern. Accenting the up-beat might take a bit of getting used to – start slow and get the flow happening with the bass drums and then add the ghost notes last.

  • Thank you so much for posting this Louie! What a great groove! I started piecing it together a few days ago, and found myself quietly tapping bits of it while my mind wondered at a conference on Tuesday morning. 🙂 Thanks again for posting this video and the notation! Much appreciated! Lou
