How to play Rx Queen (2) on drums

81 bars, 4:37, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare and kick and nothing else.

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part B -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 33-81 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
