ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Proyecto Metalcore #4 on drums

150 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:09 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

48 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 27 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.

48 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
