ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play People get Ready on drums

86 bars, 4:47, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

46 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 5 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.
