How to play Lost Together on drums

82 bars of 4/4 at a walking 76 BPM, 4:19 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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.
