What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- G -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F, K -- 4 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-11 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 8-27 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Fuck Your Enemy?

175 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Fuck Your Enemy hard to play on drums?

61 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 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

76 bars, about 1:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Fuck Your Enemy?

5 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 9, 16, 17, 25, 34, 35 and 9 more.
