For this version you will have a kick on the first right hand as well as the second left hand. These patterns can be quite challenging in terms of accuracy so you may need to slow the part right down to make sure everything is falling where it should.
You will use two versions of this pattern, one with ghosted left hands and one with standard left hands. The new version of the R L L F pattern is shown below:
