What the course does

It cuts the song into 15 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 -- B, H -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-88 -- 8 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.

Is Haifisch 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
