The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 12-13, 15-17 and 45-47, and 7 more places -- 12% 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 80 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 -- D, E -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Through Part E and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 42-231 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. Bars 65-76 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Through Part S7 and Part L -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. Through Part S7 and Part L -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Human?

100 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 Human hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

281 bars, about 13:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 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 Human?

9 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 43, 75, 77, 78, 79, 80 and 16 more.
