4/4
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 continuous sixteenth-note snare ostinato with the kick only accenting select hits underneath, flipping which instrument leads the groove.
This is lesson 83 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, “6/8 Bell Pattern Feel,” covered a 6-beat groove with a rimshot outlining a bell-pattern rhythm underneath a steady pulse. Next is Lesson 84, “Inverted Accent 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.
