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 crash-and-tom pickup that leads into the groove, the way a lot of songs actually start.
This is lesson 48 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, “Dynamics Across the Whole Groove,” covered accents and ghost notes on the kick and hi-hat too, not just the snare. Next is Lesson 49, “Full Arrangement: Advanced.”
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.
