Simple pattern--I got it right on the first try. :-)

1/00 Kick
2/00 Snare
2/48 Kick
3/00 Kick
4/00 Snare
4/48 Kick
5/00 Kick
6/00 Snare
6/48 Kick
7/48 Kick
8/00 Snare
8/48 Kick

Add a hi-hat quantized to 16ths, and a crash on the downbeat.

The way I did this is to enter the above, minus the crash.  Copy it
onto itself (doubling the length) and then add the crash on the first
beat.

The version I listened to had this played 28 times, and then once more
as the fill of the same pattern.  (Just copy that pattern to the fill,
and you'll get the crash on the last beat *and* the first beat of the
last pattern.  Kind of slick.)

This has gotta be the simplest Sisters song I've ever programmed...and
now I've done it 3 or 4 times.  :-)

For sounds, I used a room kick (#13), med ballad snare (97) and wet
random hat (119).  YMMV.
