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: Layering open hi-hat splashes onto a syncopated sixteenth-note funk kick pattern.
This is lesson 72 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, “Half-Time Power Ballad,” covered a slow half-time groove with a heavily accented backbeat and a sustained crash, the arena-ballad feel. Next is Lesson 73, “Alternating Blast Beat.”
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.
