What the course does

It cuts the song into 69 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E, R -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 17-50 -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 紅蓮の弓矢?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is 紅蓮の弓矢 hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

228 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in 紅蓮の弓矢?

13 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 24, 33, 34, 35, 42, 43 and 13 more.
