How to play FAKE on drums

112 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 96 BPM, 3:30 of playing on hi-hat, snare and kick.

32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 5 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 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
