6 - ZZ Ward - Ride · Cars 3 OST

168 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:57 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-140, snare through bars 141-144, hi-hat through bars 145-161 and snare through bars 162-168.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13 and 50-55, and 8 more places -- 32.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

5 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 16, 46, 48, 56, 80, 104 and 8 more.

It cuts the song into 27 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.
