80 bars of 4/4 at a walking 76 BPM, 4:12 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15, 17 and 19, and 12 more places -- 19.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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.
