What the course does

It cuts the song into 22 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 -- B -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. Through Part D -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 100-127 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. Bars 125-153 -- 7 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 18 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Sa Biyaya?

125 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Sa Biyaya hard to play on drums?

48 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 5:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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