ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play La Senda del Tiempo (version estudio) on drums

81 bars, 4:18, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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 -- D, C -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 21-41 -- 8 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  4. Through Part C and the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 9 exercises, about 30 minutes.
