Lesson 1: Find the Pulse

What this lesson teaches: Steady quarter notes on the hi-hat.

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.”

The lesson beat is loaded in the grid above. Press play to hear the loop, or drag the beat blocks to see how the groove is put together, one drum row at a time. Nothing you change here is saved, so every visitor starts from the same pattern.
