The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 72 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 -- H, O -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Y -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-28 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Eulogy?

82 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 Eulogy hard to play on drums?

59 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 8:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 20 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 Eulogy?

16 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 44, 54, 58, 59, 68, 78 and 22 more.
