The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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, D -- 3 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  2. Through the Verse and the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 57-109 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 105-140 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 137-180 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Is Quieren Dinero hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the speed of the hand keeping time. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

188 bars, about 5:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
