What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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 -- B, I -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-69 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part I -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.

Questions

120 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 Snuff hard to play on drums?

29 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 1 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

113 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
