What the course does

It cuts the song into 15 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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Outro -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  4. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Not Here?

112 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 Not Here hard to play on drums?

52 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

62 bars, about 2:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 29 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 Not Here?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 22, 26 and 61.
