What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- A, C -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 21-67 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through Part J -- 3 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is SING?

114 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 SING hard to play on drums?

48 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 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 SING?

3 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 32, 35, 52 and 8 more.
