What the course does

It cuts the song into 46 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 -- AG, A -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

149 bars, about 3:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

8 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 10, 18, 26, 70, 74, 78 and 4 more.
