What the course does

It cuts the song into 60 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 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E, W -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 6-78 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Mach 10?

160 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 Mach 10 hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Mach 10?

21 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 25, 28, 29 and 31 more.
