What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- C, B -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-89 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part B -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Through Part B and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  5. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 21 minutes.

What BPM is "Personalmente"?

156 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 "Personalmente" hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
