What the course does

It cuts the song into 16 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 -- D, C -- 5 exercises, about 36 minutes.
  2. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 8 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  3. Bars 57-65 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 16 minutes.

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?
