The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 17-19 and 21-22, and 3 more places -- 21.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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 -- E, I -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- V -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part S2 and Part E -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Jet Lag?

145 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 Jet Lag hard to play on drums?

57 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.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 3:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 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 Jet Lag?

8 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 6, 8, 32, 36, 39, 40 and 13 more.
