The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 31 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 -- I -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D, A -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part D -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part S6 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Bars 35-57 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is A Lenda?

80 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 A Lenda hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 A Lenda?

10 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 24, 28, 36, 49, 52, 53 and 14 more.
