52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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 -- A -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 33-81 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro 2 -- 4 exercises, about 14 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Another World?

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

Is Another World hard to play on drums?

52 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 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 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 Another World?

7 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 16, 48, 56, 64, 80, 87 and 11 more.
