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 sixteenth-note kick pattern with alternating accents, the way a double-bass-pedal player alternates emphasis between feet.
This is lesson 55 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, “Gospel Chop Groove,” covered a busy, syncopated sixteenth-note kick-and-snare conversation with the hi-hat holding steady eighths on top. Next is Lesson 56, “Breakbeat 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.
