What the course does

It cuts the song into 48 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 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- V (a two-bar phrase) -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 1 exercise, about 18 minutes.
  4. Bars 3-13 -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Through the Break and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Snot?

140 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 Snot hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 3:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 16 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.
