What the course does

It cuts the song into 40 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 -- K, G -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Resurrection By Erection?

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

Is Resurrection By Erection hard to play on drums?

56 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Resurrection By Erection?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 9, 16, 17, 34, 35 and 5 more.
