How to play Doom 3 Theme on drums

101 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 88 BPM, 4:19 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

47 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

What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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 -- F, Q -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
