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: Adapting a sticking pattern (RLRR LRLL) onto hi-hat and snare instead of two hands.
This is lesson 31 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, “A Song of Your Own,” covered verse, chorus, and bridge grooves plus a fill — everything from this course, in one song. Next is Lesson 32, “Half-Time Shuffle.”
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.
