The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- G, C -- 3 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  2. Through Part C -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 30-37 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  5. Bars 72-109 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Nada Personal?

125 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 Nada Personal hard to play on drums?

59 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
