ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Burn in Hell on drums

129 bars, 8:28, at 61 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 40 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 -- O -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- M, F -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
