How to play No Feelings on drums

114 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 2:52 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 11 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 -- E -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
