[[File:Logan----xx.png|thumb|[[Logan]] with a <code>----xx</code> pattern.]]
Row Xs (also ''Offbeats'') are a common gimmick in Rhythm Doctor. A red X can appear on any beat of a [[Classic Beat|Classic]] row, making the beat silent and encouraging players to count in their head. Row Xs usually don't appear on the first beat, as this would make it unfair to play by audio alone. An exception to this is [[Know You]], which tutorializes its X pattern beforehand. When talking about X patterns, a combination of <code>-</code>s and <code>x</code>s is usually used, for example <code>----xx</code>. Row Xs are not unique to any one character, although special attention is drawn towards [[Logan]] and [[Richard Hugh]] having them. [[Cockatiel]] and [[Owl]] have X patterns commonly associated with them. <code>-x-x-x</code> (effectively 4 beats) and <code>-xx-xx</code> (effectively 3 beats). In the story mode, Row Xs are always used in combination with [[Holds]].

Row Xs are usually not indicated with additional sounds, unless the pattern's audio is indiscernible from a longer pattern, in which case counting sounds are used:
Usually Row Xs do not need to be cued, however there are a few special cases:


<code>-x-x-x</code>: Cockatiel, Whistle, Parrot, Oriole, Wren, Canary
<code>-x-x-x</code>: It's recommended to use "Cockatiel" or "Whistle" counting from the Sounds tab.


<code>-xx-xx</code>: Owl
<code>-xx-xx</code>: It's recommended to use "Owl" counting from the Sounds tab.


<code>xx----</code>: Any "Nurse" or "Ian" counting sounds, commonly with the beat sound "Ride2". It is preferably avoided in favor of <code>-x----</code>.
<code>xx----</code>: It's recommended to use any "Nurse" or "Ian" counting from the Sounds tab. Usually the beat sound "Ride 2" is used with this pattern.
