7/4
Drag rhythmic values into up to 7 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: An asymmetric 3+2+2 grouping across a 7-beat measure, instead of four even beats.
This is lesson 28 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, “Sixteenth-Note Kick Pattern,” covered a funk/hip-hop-style kick pattern built from sixteenth-note syncopation. Next is Lesson 29, “Full Arrangement: Verse, Chorus, Fills.”
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.
