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 snare pattern using a ghost sixteenth right before each accent to approximate a flam, over a steady quarter-note bass drum march.
This is lesson 65 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, “Odd-Meter Ghost Notes,” covered a 7-beat measure (grouped 2+2+3) with ghost notes woven between the backbeat hits, combining odd meter and dynamics. Next is Lesson 66, “Cut-Time Punk Drive.”
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.
