ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Judgement Day (Acoustic) on drums

78 bars, 4:11, at 74 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare and kick and nothing else.

53 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-10, 12-14 and 35-37, and 8 more places -- 22.7% 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 24 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.
