What the course does

It cuts the song into 69 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 -- I -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 1 exercise, about 23 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- AU -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through Part A -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  5. Bars 9-47 -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.

Is Flesh Coffin hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
