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: A fill where no two limbs ever hit at the same instant, versus one that stacks hits together.
This is lesson 18 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, “Funk Sixteenth Groove,” covered syncopating the kick within a sixteenth-note grid, plus ghost notes. Next is Lesson 19, “Sixteenth-Note Fill.”
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.
