What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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 -- H, F, Z -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. Through Part C -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Break -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 31-39 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Through Part H and Part J -- 6 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  6. Through Part J and Part N -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  7. Bars 52-64 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  8. Bars 66-101 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  9. and 3 more sittings after that.

Is Glorious Day hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 1 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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