silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-12, silence through bars 13-16, toms through bars 17-24, hi-hat through bars 25-31 and toms through bars 32-40, and 7 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 33-35, and 1 more place -- 20% 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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- K -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is CONCRETE JUNGLE?

92 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 CONCRETE JUNGLE hard to play on drums?

54 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 3:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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.
