What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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.

Questions

What BPM is Disassociative?

80 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 Disassociative hard to play on drums?

50 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 4:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Disassociative?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 22, 26, 30, 34, 55, 59 and 5 more.
