The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 35 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, N -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Through Part G and Part I -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. Bars 37-56 -- 8 exercises, about 33 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is inside voice?

120 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 inside voice hard to play on drums?

53 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 inside voice?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 36, 52, 60, 64, 81, 85 and 1 more.
