How to play emo girl on drums

104 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 2:31 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

51 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31, 57-63 and 65-71, and 3 more places -- 34% 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 28 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 -- G, E -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.

51 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
