The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-38, 73-78 and 81-86, and 5 more places -- 23.1% 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 36 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, C -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- P -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 17-48 -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is 512?

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

Is 512 hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

213 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in 512?

7 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 32, 40, 80, 88, 136, 156 and 4 more.
