A double downbeat (8ths?) with the "bass drum" a drop on the two, start a quick 8ths run on the 2 and another drop... have you guessed by now terminology/theory isn't my strong point?I have been always eager to "invent" some new "grooves" , but...
Sometimes that "new" and "improved" groove cannot live up to the musician's expectations.
Here is one of my drum "beats", rhythm pattern that I've programmed and now I can't figure out an interesting bass riff for that pattern. My drum pattern but no bass riff to go along with it.

Playing the Bossa Nova would have not caused any headaches for me - just think about some cool waves at the beach and relax...
It's a two bar groove with lots of space in the second bar. "busy" but lots of space.
Come over to my house, we'll work it out. (I'm just up in Oshawa, Ontario - shouldn't be too inconvenient).
