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 half-time-ballad verse, a funk chorus with hi-hat splashes, and two fills — the busiest arrangement yet.
This is lesson 80 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, “Groove That Builds Within the Bar,” covered a single groove where the hi-hat itself ramps from ghost to accent across the bar, so the intensity builds without the pattern changing. Next is Lesson 81, “Three-Over-Two Kick Pattern.”
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.
