What the course does

It cuts the song into 50 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 -- AB -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- S -- 1 exercise, about 14 minutes.
  3. Through Part S2 and Part S -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.

Is Marigold hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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.

145 bars, about 5:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
