Getting Started: How to Use Drum Pattern Blocks

Let's dive in and create your first drum pattern!

1. Add a Block: Click the "Drum Pattern" button in the floating toolbar. This will add a new Drum Pattern Block to your song arrangement.

2. Build Your Beat: Click on the grid cells to toggle drum hits for each instrument. Don't be afraid to experiment! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

   • Basic Rock Beat: Add kick drum hits on beats 1, 5, 9, and 13. Then, add snare drum hits on beats 2 and 4 (or 5 and 13 for a different feel!).
   • Classic Backbeat: Add kick drum hits on beats 1 and 3, and snare drum hits on beats 2 and 4.
   • Add Some Groove: Sprinkle in hi-hat hits on the off-beats (the "ands" between the numbered beats) for a more dynamic rhythm.

3. Listen & Refine: Hit the play button to hear your pattern come to life! Adjust the placement of hits until you've found a rhythm you love.

4. Tempo Tweaks: Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the tempo. Speed it up for an energetic feel, or slow it down for a more laid-back vibe.

5. Expand Your Palette: Want to add a tom, a ride cymbal, or another percussion instrument? Click the "+" button to add new drum types to your block. Customize your sound!
