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 blast beat where kick and snare alternate every eighth note instead of hitting together, for a different kind of relentless drive.
This is lesson 73 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, “Funk Groove with Hi-Hat Splashes,” covered layering open hi-hat splashes onto a syncopated sixteenth-note funk kick pattern. Next is Lesson 74, “Bossa-Influenced Feel.”
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.
