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 ride-cymbal pattern with the off-beat 'and' dropped out here and there, instead of playing every eighth note evenly.
This is lesson 77 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, “Full-Bar Linear Fill,” covered a fill spanning the entire bar where kick, snare, and toms trade sixteenth notes without ever overlapping. Next is Lesson 78, “Shuffle in Five.”
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.
