What the course does

It cuts the song into 63 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 -- D -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Meet Your Maker Full?

190 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 Meet Your Maker Full hard to play on drums?

63 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Meet Your Maker Full?

17 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 1, 3, 11, 12, 25, 29 and 30 more.
