The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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, J -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 3-30 -- 3 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-114 -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Bars 111-194 -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.

Is Green Eyed Lady hard to play on drums?

63 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

256 bars, about 6:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 5 sittings, about 31 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
