The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-16 and 68-72 -- 21.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- K -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 15-21 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Blind?

96 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Blind hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Blind?

9 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 20, 29, 33, 45, 57, 61 and 6 more.
