What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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.

Is Restful hard to play on drums?

32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how fine the subdivision is the part that decides it. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
