What the course does

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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- A -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
