5/4
Drag rhythmic values into up to 5 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: The shuffle's swung triplet hi-hat feel, now stretched across a 5-beat measure instead of 4.
This is lesson 78 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, “Syncopated Ride Groove,” covered a ride-cymbal pattern with the off-beat 'and' dropped out here and there, instead of playing every eighth note evenly. Next is Lesson 79, “Groove That Builds Within the Bar.”
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.
