From the album 'Unknown album'

Polyrythmic Rock Beat
RD- ride cymbal (b = bell of cymbal)
HH- hi hat (O = open hit)
SD- snare drum
FT- floor tom
BD- bass drum
HF- hi hat with foot
This exercise should help out with your timing and four way 
independence. The bass drum hits are constantly on every 
three sixteenth notes, so you are basically doing a 3 over
4 poly-rythm. There are a few ways to look at it.
Here it is as three 4/4 measures:
 (-) = 16th
HH|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|
SD|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---|
BD|o--o --o- -o-- o--o|--o- -o-- o--o --o-|-o-- o--o --o- -o--|
HF|x--- x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x--- x---|
or you can look at it as two 6/4 measures:
HH|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O- x-O-|
SD|---- o--- ---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o--- ---- o---|
BD|o--o --o- -o-- o--o --o- -o--|o--o --o- -o-- o--o --o- -o--|
HF|x--- x--- x--- x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x--- x--- x--- x---|
or as four 3/4 measures:
HH|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-|x-O- x-O- x-O-|
SD|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-|--o- --o- --o-|
BD|o--o --o- -o--|o--o --o- -o--|o--o --o- -o--|o--o --o- -o--|
HF|x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x---|
And of course, try differnt snare hits and play around with it 
however you like.
Try this for example:
RC|x-b- x-b- x-b- x-b-|x-b- x-b- x-b- x-b-|x-b- x-b- x-b- x-b-|
HH|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---O -O-- ----|---- ---- ---- ---O|
SD|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---|---- o--- ---- o---|
FT|---- ---- o--- ----|o--- ---- ---- ----|o--- ---- o--- ----|
BD|o--o --o- -o-- o--o|--o- -o-- o--o --o-|-o-- o--o --o- -o--|
HF|x--- x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x--- x---|x--- x--- x--- x---|
