What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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 -- B, F -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part F -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
