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: Combining the shuffle feel with a halftime backbeat and a ghost note, all at once.
This is lesson 32 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, “Paradiddle Groove,” covered adapting a sticking pattern (RLRR LRLL) onto hi-hat and snare instead of two hands. Next is Lesson 33, “Displaced Backbeat.”
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.
