ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Run (mau) on drums

78 bars, 4:10, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick and nothing else.

36 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 13 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 -- E, B -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 19-50 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
