The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34-41, 46-48 and 74-81, and 1 more place -- 11.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 90 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 -- H -- 1 exercise, about 14 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- AU -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- BA -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Ragnarok?

115 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Ragnarok hard to play on drums?

64 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

254 bars, about 8:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 90 exercises over 26 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Ragnarok?

15 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 25, 29, 50, 51, 52, 53 and 30 more.
