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 -- T, V (a two-bar phrase) -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-22 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Sorairo Days?

175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Sorairo Days hard to play on drums?

64 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 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

178 bars, about 4:04 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, 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.

How many fills are in Sorairo Days?

10 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19 and 47 more.
