7/4
Drag rhythmic values into up to 7 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 7-beat measure (grouped 2+2+3) with ghost notes woven between the backbeat hits, combining odd meter and dynamics.
This is lesson 64 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, “5/4 Groove: 2+3,” covered the same 5-beat measure as Lesson 34, regrouped 2+3 instead of 3+2 — a different feel from the same meter. Next is Lesson 65, “Rudiment-Style March.”
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.
