ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play I Wish You Roses on drums

60 bars, 3:23, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare and kick and nothing else.

35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 8 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 -- B -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.
  2. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 14 minutes.
