What the course does

It cuts the song into 36 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 -- J -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- C, D -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part E -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W?

78 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W hard to play on drums?

61 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

11 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 2, 20, 22, 23, 41, 43 and 12 more.
