What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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, F -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part S3 -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part H -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 22-34 -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  6. Bars 51-59 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. Bars 53-83 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  8. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Ulan?

86 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 Ulan hard to play on drums?

46 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 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.

How many fills are in Ulan?

4 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 6, 7, 38, 46, 55, 56 and 13 more.
