ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Auberge on drums

194 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:34 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

55 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 12 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 -- C -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  2. Bars 1-31 -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.
