How to play Sherry Bass on drums

176 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:55 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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.
