What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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 -- D, B -- 3 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. Bars 4-36 -- 6 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. Through Part G and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Bars 57-93 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through Part N and the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Is Part Of Me hard to play on drums?

59 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
