What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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 -- D, E -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 37-48 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 49-87 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 8 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 16 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Deusa?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Deusa hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 3:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Deusa?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 20, 39, 43, 68, 79, 95 and 3 more.
