What the course does

It cuts the song into 47 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 -- D, H -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  3. Bars 11-60 -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Fall Of Man?

190 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Fall Of Man hard to play on drums?

53 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

252 bars, about 6:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 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 Fall Of Man?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 56, 79, 86, 101, 105, 109 and 6 more.
