How to play 90 on drums

98 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 4:21 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- B -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 40-50 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
