What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and the Chorus 2 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 26-58 -- 8 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Resolve?

111 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 Resolve hard to play on drums?

53 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 4:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Resolve?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 1, 9, 25, 33, 41, 49 and 11 more.
