What the course does

It cuts the song into 50 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 -- K, G, B -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part G -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part G -- 9 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through Part G and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bars 58-82 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus 2 and Part V -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. Bars 98-126 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  8. Bars 102-118 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.

94 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is My Gift To You hard to play on drums?

49 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 7:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
