Taylor Hawkins
Foo Fighters · Melodic arena-rock fills over tight, powerful backbeats
The grooves Taylor Hawkins actually uses across their path, moves and song studies — each one opens the same exercise workout the rest of the app links to.
Snare–Tom Combination Grooves
Level 3Groove · 55–130 BPM
Instead of every backbeat landing on the snare, some of them move to a tom, so the groove itself sounds like a mini fill without ever stopping the pocket.
Goal: Groove vocabulary that sounds composed, not just backbeat-backbeat
WorkoutOpen Hi-Hat Dynamics
Level 3Groove · 55–140 BPM
Instead of always playing the hi-hat closed, you let it ring open ('o') on certain notes and snap it shut with your left foot right before the next hit. It's the classic disco/rock 'chick' sound.
Goal: Musical control over open and closed hi-hat sounds
WorkoutGroove Displacement — Whole Bar Shift
Level 4Groove · 55–130 BPM
Take a groove you already know and shift every single note one 8th-note later in the bar, so beat 1 now lands where the '&' of 4 used to be. It trains you to feel 'one' internally instead of relying on where the notes are.
Goal: A groove that survives being displaced from the bar line
