What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- B -- 2 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 12-27 -- 5 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  4. Bars 30-75 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro 2 -- 7 exercises, about 21 minutes. Open above.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Elfida?

100 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 Elfida hard to play on drums?

52 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 5:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Elfida?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65 and 7 more.
