What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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 -- D, F -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. Through Part B -- 2 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part F -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  5. Bars 25-36 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. Bars 47-63 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Nine In The Afternoon?

157 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Nine In The Afternoon hard to play on drums?

56 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 2:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Nine In The Afternoon?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 22 and 70.
