What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- E, D -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 7 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  5. Bars 53-74 -- 6 exercises, about 21 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is One Vision?

124 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 One Vision hard to play on drums?

61 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 4:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 One Vision?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 29, 57, 65, 73, 91, 95 and 3 more.
