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 relaxed Latin-adjacent feel with a steady eighth-note hi-hat and a syncopated rimshot pattern, quieter than the samba and songo feels.
This is lesson 74 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, “Alternating Blast Beat,” covered a blast beat where kick and snare alternate every eighth note instead of hitting together, for a different kind of relentless drive. Next is Lesson 75, “Ride Cymbal Dynamics.”
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.
