The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-31 and 61-66 -- 18.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- F -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B, C -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 32-41 -- 8 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 45-64 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 6 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Sextape?

91 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 Sextape hard to play on drums?

54 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Sextape?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 24, 32, 37, 39, 40, 60 and 6 more.
