What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. Bars 22-37 -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 7 exercises, about 35 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 6 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Covet?

138 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 Covet hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Covet?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 9, 41, 49, 57, 89 and 105.
