The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 36 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 -- H -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- C -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Na Soncu?

126 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 Na Soncu hard to play on drums?

61 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Na Soncu?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 16, 20, 26, 36, 40, 48 and 7 more.
