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.

Questions

What BPM is Gravity?

154 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Gravity hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 1:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Gravity?

6 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 26, 30, 34, 36, 37, 38 and 5 more.
