What the course does

It cuts the song into 46 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 -- R, F -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part F -- 5 exercises, about 20 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part F and Part I -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  5. Through Part I -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. Bars 26-54 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  7. Through the Chorus and Part T -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  8. Through Part T and Part Y -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  9. and 6 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is My World?

130 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 World hard to play on drums?

57 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in My World?

8 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 15, 16, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 23 more.
