The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-11, 13-14 and 33-34, and 7 more places -- 20% 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 38 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 -- F -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J, B -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus and Part J -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
