Basic Rock Beat
The foundational rock groove and the first beat almost every drummer learns. Kick on beats 1 and 3, snare on the backbeats 2 and 4, with steady eighth notes on the hi-hat. It feels solid, square, and driving.
Press play to hear it, then open the full machine to edit, loop, and play along with your own kit.
What this teaches
Teaches limb independence and locking the kick, snare, and hi-hat into a steady eighth-note grid.
