ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play room on drums

86 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 3:26 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick.

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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 -- A -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 34-61 -- 8 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 43-77 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
