How to play Tan Solo on drums

92 bars of 4/4 at a walking 88 BPM, 4:11 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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.
