What the course does

It cuts the song into 35 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 -- A -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- C -- 1 exercise, about 22 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- O -- 1 exercise, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 796786?

115 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 796786 hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

73 bars, about 2:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 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 796786?

10 fills to learn, played 54 times: bars 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 48 more.
