hi-hat through bars 1-25, silence through bars 26-32, hi-hat through bars 33-35, snare through bars 36-48, silence through bars 49-58 and ride through bars 59-61, and 3 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-38, 63 and 65-67 -- 15.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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 Cheval?

100 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Cheval hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 2:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 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.

How many fills are in Cheval?

5 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 8, 32, 58, 68, 76 and 78.
