How to play Nothing Is Impossible on drums

73 bars, 4:07, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 32 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 -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- K, H -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-29 -- 7 exercises, about 32 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Nothing Is Impossible?

71 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Nothing Is Impossible hard to play on drums?

67 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?

73 bars, about 4:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Nothing Is Impossible?

13 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 4, 8, 10, 12, 17, 18 and 24 more.
