4/4
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: Moving the snare off the downbeat entirely, onto the 'and' of 2 and 4.
This is lesson 33 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, “Half-Time Shuffle,” covered combining the shuffle feel with a halftime backbeat and a ghost note, all at once. Next is Lesson 34, “5/4 Groove.”
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.
