What the course does

It cuts the song into 10 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, C -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 3-48 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Sama Si?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Sama Si hard to play on drums?

47 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.

How many fills are in Sama Si?

2 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 52, 53, 54, 96, 97, 98 and 4 more.
