What the course does

It cuts the song into 49 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 -- O -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Y, A -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part A and Part H -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  4. Through Part A and Part H -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through Part H and Part A -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Bars 26-35 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Other Worlds?

135 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 Other Worlds hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 15 sittings, about 28 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 Other Worlds?

16 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 31, 32, 33, 34, 38, 42 and 23 more.
