The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34-48, 85-87 and 89-90, and 2 more places -- 34.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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 -- H -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part E -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
