What the course does

It cuts the song into 42 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 -- N, C -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Through Part C -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  4. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Los Perros?

97 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 Los Perros hard to play on drums?

51 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor 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 Los Perros?

12 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 13, 18, 31, 39, 45, 49 and 10 more.
