The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 14 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 -- A, C -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 3 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Bars 30-82 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  4. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.

48 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?

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