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 -- C, D -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 9-48 -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 17-34 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Bars 31-65 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Labyrinth?

87 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 Labyrinth hard to play on drums?

52 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?

80 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Labyrinth?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 4, 30, 56 and 64.
