The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-29 and 48-54 -- 23.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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 -- G, E -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-26 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part I -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Bars 29-35 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Through Part K and Part L -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 16?

80 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 16 hard to play on drums?

63 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 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 16?

2 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 22, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59.
