What the course does

It cuts the song into 50 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, C, L -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 3-19 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes. Open above.
  3. Through Part S4 and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is AmEN!?

210 BPM, in 3/4, 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 AmEN! hard to play on drums?

48 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

214 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 11 sittings, about 30 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 AmEN!?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 18, 34, 42, 48, 65, 66 and 15 more.
