The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-27, 29-36 and 47-49 -- 15% 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 44 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 -- I -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- P, K -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 2-15 -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Through Part D and Part E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part E and Part F -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  6. Bars 20-40 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
