The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 38-40, 43-44 and 47-48, and 6 more places -- 26.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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 19 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 -- L -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- C -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 14-33 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part F and Part I -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Is JJJJJ hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
