Four on the Floor was the Daily Beat for 19 October 2026: a two-bar Disco drum groove at 118 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
The kick never stops, and the hi-hat lives between the beats. Forward and even. The kick is the floor; the offbeat hats create lift. Find the snare first, then place the kick around it and count the hi-hat last.
Where to hear this feel
Records in this family include Chic – Good Times and Daft Punk – One More Time. They are listening suggestions for the feel, not transcriptions.
