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 fill built as a short snare phrase answered by tom phrases, trading back and forth within the bar.
This is lesson 89 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, “Sixteenth-Note Cross-Stick Groove,” covered moving the quiet cross-stick backbeat from Lesson 24 onto a syncopated sixteenth-note grid instead of a plain quarter-note backbeat. Next is Lesson 90, “Full Arrangement: Polyrhythms and Ghosts.”
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.
