ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play E... on drums

61 bars, 3:23, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick and nothing else.

35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

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 -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Bars 23-47 -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Bars 44-61 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.
