What the course does

It cuts the song into 11 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 -- C, D -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Is Dying hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
