The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 55-56, 58-60 and 62-64, and 1 more place -- 15.1% 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 30 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 -- U, H -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Y -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through Part B and Part C -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.

53 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
