What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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 -- I, A -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 2 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 16-42 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  5. Bars 39-68 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Through the Verse 3 and the Outro -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The One?

98 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 The One hard to play on drums?

56 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 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 The One?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 16, 42, 65 and 67.
