What the course does

It cuts the song into 66 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 -- E, C -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- M -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-169 -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Everything Evil?

159 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Everything Evil hard to play on drums?

56 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

262 bars, about 5:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Everything Evil?

10 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 72, 73, 89, 105, 124, 125 and 24 more.
