The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 50-51, 54-55 and 57-59, and 13 more places -- 16.3% 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 62 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.

Questions

What BPM is Order?

150 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Order hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

324 bars, about 6:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 22 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

13 fills to learn, played 76 times: bars 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16 and 70 more.
