What the course does

It cuts the song into 31 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 -- I -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. Bars 17-25 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part E and the Chorus -- 9 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part O -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through Part O and the Chorus 2 -- 7 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  6. Bars 136-148 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.

  8. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Canon Rock?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Canon Rock hard to play on drums?

32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 8:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 8 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.
