122 bars of 4/4 at a walking 83 BPM, 5:48 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-13, 15-16 and 18-24, and 4 more places -- 18.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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, C -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
