What the course does

It cuts the song into 41 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 -- O, B -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Shattered Faith?

188 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 Shattered Faith hard to play on drums?

64 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 Shattered Faith?

13 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19 and 27 more.
