The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 32 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 -- H -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L, C -- 3 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Bars 31-44 -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Bars 35-54 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Jenny?

102 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 Jenny hard to play on drums?

59 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Jenny?

9 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 43 and 15 more.
