What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- D, B -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 21-36 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 46-87 -- 8 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Grita?

100 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 Grita 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

87 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Grita?

5 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 16, 24, 32, 40, 56 and 87.
