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: Leaving the snare out entirely in a sparse verse, so the chorus has somewhere to go.
This is lesson 25 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, “Cross-Stick Backbeat,” covered a quieter rimshot backbeat for a verse, opening up to full snare for the chorus. Next is Lesson 26, “The Big 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.
