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: Add hits to beats 2 and 4.
This is lesson 2 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, “Find the Pulse,” covered steady quarter notes on the hi-hat and other parts of the drum set. Next is Lesson 3, “Add the Kick.”
Keep counting to four. Add the snare on 2 and 4, then try it with the other drums. Take a look at the sheet music and combine all 4 beats in 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 78 BPM with the free metronome's speed trainer.
