Basic Rock Beat

♩ = 90

The foundation of rock drumming. Hi-hat on 8th notes, snare on beats 2 and 4, kick on 1 and 3.

4 on the Floor

♩ = 100

Kick drums every beat drives an unstoppable pulse - the backbone of disco, arena rock, and hard rock.

Half-Time Groove

♩ = 80

Snare lands only on beat 3, creating a slow, heavy feel. Common in metal, grunge, and hip-hop influenced rock.

Driving 16th Hi-Hat

♩ = 110

Non-stop 16th-note hi-hat creates urgent forward momentum. A staple of punk and uptempo rock.

Double Kick Rock

♩ = 90

Two kick hits open each half of the bar - beat 1 and the '&' of 1, then beat 3 and the '&' of 3. Essential in hard rock and metal.

Syncopated Rock Pocket

♩ = 95

Steady eighth-note hi-hats over a syncopated kick that skips the downbeat, creating an off-kilter, pushing groove with an extra snare hit leading into beat 4.

Syncopated Groove

♩ = 95

An extra snare ghost on the 'and' of beat 3 adds a funk-influenced syncopation to the classic rock framework.

Thunder Road Driver

♩ = 120

An aggressive sixteenth-note kick engine driving under a steady eighth-note hi-hat, punctuated by open hi-hat accents on the upbeats and a hard backbeat snare on 2 and 4.

Basic Disco Groove

♩ = 140

Four-on-the-floor kick on every beat with backbeat snare on 2 and 4 and offbeat hi-hats, the driving foundation of classic disco.

Disco Funk Pocket

♩ = 112

Four-on-the-floor disco kick fused with syncopated funk - busy sixteenth hi-hats with open accents, a sharp backbeat snare on 2 and 4, and ghosted kick syncopations between the downbeats that lock into a deep, danceable pocket.

Disco Drive

♩ = 124

The same four-on-the-floor core stepped up with full eighth-note hi-hats and an open accent on the upbeat, adding forward momentum without crowding the groove.

Samba Batucada

♩ = 100

A propulsive samba groove driven by a surdo-style kick on the '&' of 1, beat 2, the '&' of 3 and beat 4, rapid sixteenth-note hi-hats carrying the relentless forward momentum, and snare accents that snap against the pulse for that carnival batucada energy.

Mambo Fire

♩ = 140

A driving mambo groove with an energetic, syncopated kick pattern pushing the dancefloor, busy hi-hats laying down the clave-driven momentum, and a snare accenting the offbeats for that hot, brassy big-band swing feel.

Slow Blues 6/8

♩ = 150

A rolling 6/8 blues groove: hi-hat on all six eighth notes, kick on count 1 and snare on count 4, so the bar sways in two big pulses.
