How to play The Third Sanctuary on drums

125 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:02 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

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 -- B -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part E -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 54-91 -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
