About this riff
The 'Superstition' groove is a tight 16th-note funk pattern built on a syncopated kick and a backbeat snare, with a driving hi-hat that carries the shuffle feel. It looks simple on paper, but the challenge is locking the ghost notes and kick displacements into a relaxed pocket at 100 BPM without rushing. Nailing the four-bar unaccompanied intro exactly like the record is the real test of your groove and dynamic control.
Did you know?
The instantly recognizable drum part was played by Stevie Wonder himself, and the whole song grew out of a jam session with guitarist Jeff Beck. Beck sat down at the drum kit and started playing a beat; Wonder told him to keep going and improvised the clavinet riff over it, later cutting his own drum track for the final recording. Beck was so struck by what emerged that he called it 'the riff of the century.'

Is this the real audio?
The audio is rendered from a high-quality SoundFont (FluidR3), so it plays for real. It is not the original master recording.
