What the course does

It cuts the song into 8 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 -- B -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through the Verse and the Break -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  4. Through the Verse 2 -- 1 exercise, about 21 minutes. Open above.

Is Pink Pony Club hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the speed of the hand keeping time. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
