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 polyrhythmic-kick verse, a half-time double-kick chorus, and two fills — one last full arrangement before the final song.
This is lesson 99 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, “Odd-Meter Triplet Fill,” covered a fill spanning a 7-beat measure built from triplet subdivisions, combining odd meter and triplet phrasing. Next is Lesson 100, “Graduation: Everything You've Learned.”
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.
