What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- Z, L -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part S2 and Part F -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.

Is New Found hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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.

What do I need on the kit?
