The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-11, 25-31 and 43-49 -- 23.1% 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 -- B, E -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part E -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is No Way?

99 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Way hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 No Way?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 32, 50 and 78.
