What the course does

It cuts the song into 35 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, W -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.

Is Hall hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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.

106 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
