What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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 -- N, J -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 8-21 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 12-25 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 30-111 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Rasputin?

150 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Rasputin hard to play on drums?

60 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 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Rasputin?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 30, 31, 32, 33, 95, 103 and 2 more.
