5/4
Drag rhythmic values into up to 5 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: The syncopated breakbeat feel from Lesson 56, now fit into a 5-beat measure instead of straight 4/4.
This is lesson 92 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, “Half-Time Double-Kick Groove,” covered a half-time backbeat with a continuous sixteenth-note double-kick pattern underneath, instead of a sparse kick. Next is Lesson 93, “Inverted Paradiddle 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.
