What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- H -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 6018?

185 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 6018 hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

99 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 11 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 6018?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 45, 54 and 62.
