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: Multiple ghost notes packed into a single beat on the snare, filling space between sparse kick hits.
This is lesson 58 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, “Clave-Influenced Groove,” covered a kick-and-rimshot pattern echoing a generic three-against-two clave shape, spread across the bar instead of a straight backbeat. Next is Lesson 59, “Dynamic Crescendo Fill.”
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.
