What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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, F -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes. Open above.
  2. Through Part F and the Break -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 37-49 -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 3 -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  5. Bars 59-65 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 22 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Daisies?

112 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 Daisies hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 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 Daisies?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 48 and 72.
