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: Accenting select ride-cymbal hits while keeping the rest at normal volume, the way a bell accent cuts through a ride pattern.
This is lesson 75 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, “Bossa-Influenced Feel,” covered a relaxed Latin-adjacent feel with a steady eighth-note hi-hat and a syncopated rimshot pattern, quieter than the samba and songo feels. Next is Lesson 76, “Full-Bar Linear Fill.”
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.
