What the course does

It cuts the song into 66 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 -- V -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Distortion!!?

176 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Distortion!! hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Distortion!!?

21 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 25 and 35 more.
