A short beat you can repeat ? hard, but makes you feel good about yourself at the start of a long practice. 
More than enough to be played as a 4/4 bar at 60 ? 70 bpm. 

HH|x-x-x-x-x-x-xO-xx-x-x-x-x-------|
SD|----oo--o--o-o-o---ooo--o--o-o-o|
T1|-------------------------oo-----|
T2|----------------------------o---|
T3|------------------------------o-|
B1|oo-o--o---o-o-o-o-----o---------|



Goes great with this very hard whole ? bar fill, sounds best at 70 bpm:

C1|X---------------x-----------x-xX|
C2|------------------------X----x--|
CR|---------X--------------X-----#-|
Hf|-x---x---x---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x|
HH|--------------O-----------------|
SD|------o-o--------o-o-ooo--o--o--|
T1|-o---o----o--o--o---------oo----|
T2|--o-oo-o----oo-o--o-------------|
T3|---o---o---o---o----o----o------|
B1|o-o-o-ooooo---o-o-o-o---o-o-o-oo|
  

Hard without double bass, but possible. (Actually you need the left foot for the high hat ? so no double bass!)

Okay here?s a pretty challenging double bass drum beat/fill/heavy metal groove ? bash it out of the drums. I 
havent dared to play this one with my band. Consider yourself GOOD if you can go over 70 bpm with this like 
I wrote it. (I think it sounds best at 60)

C1|------X-------------------X----X|
