Drag rhythmic values into up to 6 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 6-beat groove with a rimshot outlining a bell-pattern rhythm underneath a steady pulse.
This is lesson 82 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, “Three-Over-Two Kick Pattern,” covered a kick pattern that lands every dotted quarter note against a steady straight pulse, a simple polyrhythm you can feel in the feet. Next is Lesson 83, “Snare-Led Sixteenth Groove.”
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.
