801 is a symmetrical 3 object siteswap. The throws used in this pattern are 8s - high, non-crossing throws. After one hand throws an object, the same hand catches another object and passes it over to the other hand, to be thrown as the next 8.
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 101001. You can do the pattern from a cold start or from a warm start by leaving out the 1s in the first two rounds, and you can go back to the basic pattern by pausing for 6 beats after throwing an 8:
