What the course does

It cuts the song into 13 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 -- A -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 2 exercises, about 16 minutes.
  4. Through Part G and the Chorus 2 -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Ducktales Theme?

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

Is Ducktales Theme hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 2:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 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.

How many fills are in Ducktales Theme?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 16, 42, 107 and 108.
