Daily Beat #17: Half-Time

Half-Time was the Daily Beat for 12 October 2026: a two-bar Rock drum groove at 84 BPM, rebuilt by ear on a kick, snare and hi-hat grid. The grid itself is not shown here, so the puzzle is still worth playing.

What to listen for

Big and slow. The snare only lands once a bar. Find the snare first, then place the kick around it and count the hi-hat last.

Practise the feel

Set the metronome to 84 BPM, count the sixteenths out loud and play the rock feel over it until it sits without the click.
