How to play Original Composition by RichaadEB on drums

227 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 5:20 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 87 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 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- K -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.

63 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 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
