What the course does

It cuts the song into 16 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 -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part S4 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 9-72 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Linoleum?

198 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Linoleum hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 2:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 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 Linoleum?

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 8, 34, 58, 66, 74, 82 and 1 more.
