How to play Dare You To Move on drums

69 bars, 3:48, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick and nothing else.

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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.
