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 quieter rimshot backbeat for a verse, opening up to full snare for the chorus.
This is lesson 24 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, “Disco Four-on-the-Floor,” covered kick on every beat, with the hi-hat opening on each off-beat for color. Next is Lesson 25, “Building Dynamics: Verse to Chorus.”
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.
