What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- B, C -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Bars 43-67 -- 4 exercises, about 16 minutes.
  4. Through Part C and Part D -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through Part D and the Chorus 3 -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus 3 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Luna Roja?

93 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 Luna Roja hard to play on drums?

56 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 5:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Luna Roja?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 49, 69, 71, 73, 81, 93 and 1 more.
