The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26, 28 and 30-31, and 6 more places -- 16.4% 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 42 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 -- J, O -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Bars 3-17 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 15-50 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Bars 24-60 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  7. Through Part B and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  8. Through Part B and Part U -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  9. and 3 more sittings after that.
