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: Quiet snare hits between the backbeat, for texture instead of volume.
This is lesson 12 of 100 in RockBlocks Drum School, a free, stepwise course where each lesson adds one new idea to the one before it. The previous lesson, “Sixteenth-Note Hi-Hat,” covered subdividing the hi-hat into sixteenths for a smoother, busier feel. Next is Lesson 13, “The Train Beat.”
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.
