What the course does

It cuts the song into 79 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 -- M -- 1 exercise, about 15 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Ice V?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Ice V hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

275 bars, about 10:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 79 exercises over 26 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Ice V?

13 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 5, 20, 21, 28, 29, 33 and 19 more.
