The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-12, 33-40 and 53-60, and 1 more place -- 33% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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 -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- P, Q -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Nookie?

Is Nookie hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 4:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 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.
