What the course does

It cuts the song into 17 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 -- E -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-50 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Statues?

94 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 Statues 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 4 sittings, about 31 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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.

How many fills are in Statues?

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 2, 48, 52, 60 and 64.
