What the course does

It cuts the song into 14 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 -- K -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 8 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

50 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
