The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-24, 29-31 and 33-48 -- 22.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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 -- F, C, D -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 28-52 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Through Part G and the Chorus 3 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Bars 61-82 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is No More?

138 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 No More hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

92 bars, about 2:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 No More?

1 fill to learn, played 4 times: bars 54, 55, 68 and 69.
