ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Ina Aanor on drums

145 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 140 BPM, 5:00 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

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

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-8 and 10-15 -- 15.2% 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 30 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.
