What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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 -- N -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- O -- 1 exercise, about 15 minutes.

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

111 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 10 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
