What the course does

It cuts the song into 48 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 -- AJ, Y -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- O -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 10-51 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Through Part D and Part G -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  5. Through Part D and Part G -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  6. Through Part G -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  7. Through Part G and the Chorus -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  8. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  9. and 6 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Eden?

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 Eden hard to play on drums?

64 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Eden?

17 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 10, 18, 26, 34, 38, 42 and 17 more.
