The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-4, 7-8 and 11-12, and 6 more places -- 14.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 33 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, C -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part H -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Hazel?

82 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 Hazel hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 5:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 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 Hazel?

7 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 32, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46 and 14 more.
