What the course does

It cuts the song into 52 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 Hands Of Sin?

192 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Hands Of Sin hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

170 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 17 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.

17 fills to learn, played 52 times: bars 19, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 46 more.
