Lesson 85: Shuffle-Feel Fill

What this lesson teaches: A tom fill built from the shuffle's triplet skip shape instead of straight sixteenths.

This is lesson 85 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, Inverted Accent Groove,” covered accenting the off-beats and ghosting the downbeats on the hi-hat — the reverse of where accents usually land. Next is Lesson 86, Kick Ostinato Meets Ghost Snare.”

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.
