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: Moving the snare to just beat 3 for a laid-back, spacious feel.
This is lesson 14 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, “The Train Beat,” covered a driving eighth-note pattern voiced on the snare, with the downbeat of each pair accented for a chugging feel. Next is Lesson 15, “Double-Time Feel.”
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.
