What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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.

Questions

What BPM is Triumphant Gleam?

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Triumphant Gleam hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

144 bars, about 4:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
