What the course does

It cuts the song into 31 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 -- J, C -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- H -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-40 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 6 exercises, about 22 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 14?

82 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is 14 hard to play on drums?

48 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 6:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 14?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 29, 37, 57, 67, 68, 69 and 2 more.
