ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Exagerado on drums

65 bars, 3:37, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare and kick and nothing else.

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 10 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.
