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 shuffle verse, a displaced-backbeat chorus, and two fills arranged into one song.
This is lesson 49 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, “Building an Intro,” covered a crash-and-tom pickup that leads into the groove, the way a lot of songs actually start. Next is Lesson 50, “Fifty Lessons In.”
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.
