What the course does

It cuts the song into 54 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 -- N -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- O -- 1 exercise, about 18 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Craving Speed?

330 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 Craving Speed hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

257 bars, about 3:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 18 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 Craving Speed?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 31, 32, 33, 34, 62, 110 and 3 more.
