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 -- D, G -- 3 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part C -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 20-50 -- 5 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  4. Bars 41-67 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 74-93 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Bars 89-102 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  7. Bars 125-134 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  8. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is A Minha Menina?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is A Minha Menina hard to play on drums?

55 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 4:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 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 Minha Menina?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 92 and 160.
