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: Four on the floor beats. Try them slow then increase the speed.
This is lesson 6 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, “Syncopate the Kick,” covered moving a kick hit onto the off-beat. Next is Lesson 7, “Open Hi-Hat Accents.”
Beat A is used in disco (especially if you open the hats on the &s or off beats). Try beat D first with the hats and kick. Then add the snare on 2 and 4 with slot A to put it all together.
Practicing on a real kit or a pad? Start slower and work up to the lesson's 73 BPM with the free metronome's speed trainer.
