What the course does

It cuts the song into 8 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 -- A -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Is mOBSCENE hard to play on drums?

53 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
