The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14, 16 and 18, and 4 more places -- 8.6% 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 40 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 -- I -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J, Q -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.

120 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 Disgrace hard to play on drums?

64 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 2:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
