Ok, you were right - it is a bit tricky :)

I thought I'd give the snare competition track a quick try out. I only got half way though because I didn't have much time, I'm essentially winging it, but I agree with other observations, it's not as straight forward as I thought. The chorus backbeat seems to run counter to the full song when listening only to the backing track.



Anyhow, here's my hurried first attempt, so I'm on the journey with you :) I'm also appreciating why the pro's are running scared of this competition ;) ;) ;)

Sorry for the slight distortion (Youtube issue), I'll upload a better version overnight.
