The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-27, 51-57 and 75-81, and 1 more place -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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.

Questions

What BPM is Maggot?

98 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 Maggot hard to play on drums?

49 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Maggot?

9 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 29 and 18 more.
