What the course does

It cuts the song into 34 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 -- J, G -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. Bars 12-42 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 18-49 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 61-127 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is La Danza Del Fuego?

65 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is La Danza Del Fuego hard to play on drums?

57 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 6:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in La Danza Del Fuego?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 11 more.
