The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-16, 29-35 and 53-59 -- 25.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 41 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 -- F, C -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  3. Through Part A and Part C -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.

63 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
