How to play Miss Alissa on drums

107 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:41 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

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 5 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 -- B -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.
