What the course does

It cuts the song into 53 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 -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- C -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- K -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Street Rockin'?

105 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 Street Rockin' hard to play on drums?

62 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

120 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 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 Street Rockin'?

20 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 27 and 39 more.
