silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-21, silence through bars 22-30, snare through bars 31-32, silence through bars 33-52 and ride through bars 53-60, and 4 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-20 -- 20% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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.

Questions

What BPM is Euclid?

135 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 Euclid hard to play on drums?

46 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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 Euclid?

11 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 64, 72, 76, 79, 80, 84 and 8 more.
