Lesson 26: The Big Fill

What this lesson teaches: A fill that takes over the entire bar, for a bigger moment than a one-beat tom run.

This is lesson 26 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, Building Dynamics: Verse to Chorus,” covered leaving the snare out entirely in a sparse verse, so the chorus has somewhere to go. Next is Lesson 27, Sixteenth-Note Kick Pattern.”

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.
