How to play 飛行艇(full band) on drums

85 bars of 4/4 at a walking 80 BPM, 4:14 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 9-15 and 25-27, and 3 more places -- 30% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 33 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 -- A, C, F -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-74 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
