The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 8 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.

Questions

What BPM is Cheshme Man?

75 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Cheshme Man hard to play on drums?

20 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 2 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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