How to play Kingslayer (ft. BABYMETAL) on drums

165 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 3:33 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 39 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 -- H, B -- 3 exercises, about 35 minutes.
