The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 10 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 -- C, D -- 3 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Bars 21-36 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes. Open above.

Is Something About You hard to play on drums?

58 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?
