What the course does

It cuts the song into 51 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 -- D, A, H -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part A -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 21-168 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part A -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 38-93 -- 6 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus 2 and Part H -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  7. Bars 82-181 -- 7 exercises, about 37 minutes.
  8. Bars 88-115 -- 8 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  9. and 4 more sittings after that.

Is Beware hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
