How to play Let It Go W/ Lyrics on drums

123 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 3:09 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

49 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 the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-33 and 61-67 -- 13.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 50 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 -- I, R -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
