The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 10-12 and 31-32, and 10 more places -- 31.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 40 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, M -- 7 exercises, about 36 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is EAT?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is EAT hard to play on drums?

49 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 itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 3:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 EAT?

14 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 9, 13, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 27 more.
