Drag rhythmic values into up to 4 beat blocks per line to build a drum groove, or click a tile then click a block to place it — handy on a trackpad.
What this lesson teaches: Steady quarter notes on the hi-hat and other parts of the drum set
This is lesson 1 of 100 in RockBlocks Drum School, a free, stepwise course where each lesson adds one new idea to the one before it. It is the first lesson, so it assumes no prior drumming. Next is Lesson 2, “Add the Backbeat.”
Count to 4. One two three four one two three four etc. And try playing that around the drum set. Take a look at the sheet music and try to combine it all on stacks. If the tempo or speed is too fast slow down the bpm (beats per minute).
Practicing on a real kit or a pad? Start slower and work up to the lesson's 76 BPM with the free metronome's speed trainer.
