What the course does

It cuts the song into 47 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, G -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- O -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 13-43 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Auka1?

170 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Auka1 hard to play on drums?

56 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

233 bars, about 5:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Auka1?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 72, 170, 201, 202, 203, 204 and 5 more.
