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 -- C -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 1 exercise, about 15 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Conquest?

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

Is Conquest hard to play on drums?

96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 86 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

161 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 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 Conquest?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 4, 12, 16, 20, 37, 45 and 11 more.
