ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Jekyll & Hyde on drums

128 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

43 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 31 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.
