What the course does

It cuts the song into 17 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 -- 4 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  2. Bars 17-85 -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part I -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  5. Bars 79-118 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

140 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 Jota Quest hard to play on drums?

52 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

What do I need on the kit?

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