The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 65-82 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Is Bangers + Mash Live hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
