What the course does

It cuts the song into 39 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 -- F, E, A -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and Part B -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. Bars 28-105 -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Bars 40-98 -- 5 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  5. Through Part J and Part A -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  6. Bars 57-99 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  7. Through Part J and Part H -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  8. Bars 101-121 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  9. and 2 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Collapse?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Collapse hard to play on drums?

47 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Collapse?

8 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 40, 60, 64, 106, 112, 118 and 5 more.
