Work on the hi-hat pattern first. Next introduce bass drum. Introduce the snare when you can play steadily between hihat and bass drum.

Timing the bass drum with the open hihat bark is the key to nailing this beat.

'Immigrant Song' Drum Beat

Kick Hat Snare 06

Practise a roll between hand and foot. F,R,F,R etc. This will help with the start of this beat.

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.
