What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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 -- H, F -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Amour?

104 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Amour hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 4:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 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 Amour?

9 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 52, 60, 68, 78, 88, 96 and 8 more.
