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 fill that accents every third eighth note across a 4-beat bar, carrying the hemiola idea from Lesson 38 into a fill instead of a groove.
This is lesson 62 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, “Triplet Fill,” covered a one-bar fill built entirely from triplet subdivisions instead of straight sixteenths. Next is Lesson 63, “5/4 Groove: 2+3.”
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.
