      Data collection method
      In the Tom Sawyer drum pattern of interest here, each bar consists of four beats. These four beats represent four crotchets, or 16 semiquavers (i.e. sixteenth notes). To record samples, twenty-two musicians were asked to play semiquavers for a minimum of two minutes on a closed hi-hat whilst simultaneously listening to the original recording of the song (from the album \textit{Moving Pictures}). Each performance of semiquavers was then repeated once with a double-handed method, once with a single-handed method, and once with a technique of the drummer's choice but in as metronomic and unaccented a fashion as possible. This was all performed with the drummer's own sticks and, other than the metronomic recording, they were asked to play as if they were giving a live performance, instead of just trying to keep time. Our aim was to facilitate the drummers' playing in a style that they prefer in order to better reflect a real-world performance. Nonetheless, the drumming in our study was of course carried out in an artificial environment which is very different from that of a concert performance, a point to which we also return in the conclusions. These data were complemented by hi-hat-only tracks received via the Sixty Symbols crowd-sourcing route.
