What the course does

It cuts the song into 14 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 -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Pegasus Fantasy?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Pegasus Fantasy hard to play on drums?

53 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor 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 Pegasus Fantasy?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 25 and 5 more.
