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: A continuous running sixteenth-note kick pattern underneath the groove, for a heavy, driving feel.
This is lesson 36 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, “6/8 Compound Groove,” covered a 6-beat measure felt as two big pulses of three, not six even beats. Next is Lesson 37, “Ride Cymbal 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.
