ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hole In My Soul (sev) on drums

104 bars, 5:33, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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 -- E, F -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
