The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- C -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Bars 2-55 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through Part F -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 62-113 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.

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

What do I need on the kit?
