How to play Marie-Stone on drums

86 bars of 4/4 at a walking 88 BPM, 3:55 of playing, on ride, hi-hat and hi-hat foot.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-33, 53-59 and 73-79, and 1 more place -- 30.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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 18 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.
