The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-20, 38 and 40, and 7 more places -- 14% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 43 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.

Is Defect hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
