How to play Jesus' Tod on drums

293 bars at 161 BPM -- fast, and 7:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick.

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

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 10 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 -- B -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 37-293 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.
