How to play Daddy on drums

129 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 2:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick.

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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, A -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-33 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 28-52 -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Bars 59-89 -- 8 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro 2 -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
