What the course does

It cuts the song into 38 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 -- Y, X -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

82 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Confront Yourself hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is 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.

102 bars, about 4:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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.

How many fills are in Confront Yourself?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 3, 4, 8, 13, 17, 18 and 20 more.
