ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Aos Pés da Cruz on drums

61 bars, 3:56, at 62 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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, D -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-29 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 32-58 -- 9 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.
