What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- C, A -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 9-58 -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. Bars 30-57 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
  6. Through the Outro 2 -- 2 exercises, about 6 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is I Am... All Of Me?

190 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is I Am... All Of Me hard to play on drums?

58 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 3:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 I Am... All Of Me?

6 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 12, 38, 56, 62, 63, 69 and 14 more.
