His World [Theme Of Sonic 2006 (Cover)] · Frontline

170 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 2:57 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 50, 75 and 163.

It cuts the song into 27 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.
