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 17 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 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 15-83 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 79-91 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 91-117 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Ready For The Magic?

174 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Ready For The Magic hard to play on drums?

54 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
