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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- F, C -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. Through Part D and Part C -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part I -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bars 56-75 -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Kayleigh?

104 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 Kayleigh hard to play on drums?

59 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Kayleigh?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 28, 32, 44, 68, 88, 92 and 3 more.
