ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play I Do on drums

93 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 130 BPM, 2:09 of playing on hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 11 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, F -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
