What the course does

It cuts the song into 13 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 -- G -- 4 exercises, about 35 minutes.

  3. Through the Chorus and Part H -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Is The Guilty Gear hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
