The technique
Land the chord on the "and" of every beat. Put a four-on-the-floor kick under it to hear the two interlock.
Keep it short: lift the hand before the next beat arrives, so the downbeat stays clear for the kick.
Accent the first stab of the phrase and play the rest evenly. That one accent marks where the two bars start.
Voice the three notes close together, above the bass and below the melody. A tight voicing is what makes it read as a stab.
