The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-10, 21-22 and 40-48, and 4 more places -- 17.3% 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 41 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 -- C, I, F -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part D and Part F -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 29-40 -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Bars 52-75 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 74-90 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  6. Through the Chorus 2 and Part K -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  7. Bars 94-101 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  8. Bars 101-121 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  9. and 2 more sittings after that.
