Loading drum sounds…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: Kick, snare, and hi-hat all hitting together on every eighth note, as fast as you can hold it.
This is lesson 44 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, “Second-Line Groove,” covered a bouncy, syncopated kick-and-snare conversation instead of a fixed backbeat. Next is Lesson 45, “Polyrhythm: Grouping in 3s Over Sixteenths.”
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.
