Daily Beat #23: Half-Time Push

Half-Time Push was the Daily Beat for 18 October 2026: a two-bar Rock drum groove at 88 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

Half-time, and the kick leans hard into the snare. Find the snare first, then place the kick around it and count the hi-hat last.

Practise the feel

Set the metronome to 88 BPM, count the sixteenths out loud and play the rock feel over it until it sits without the click.
