What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- X, Y -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part D -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Is Lilith hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.
