The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 35-37, and 1 more place -- 14.6% 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 32 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 -- E, C -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- H -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
