The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 73 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 -- U -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Q -- 1 exercise, about 23 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- X -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Vast Eternal?

150 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 Vast Eternal hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 26 sittings, about 24 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 Vast Eternal?

18 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 33 more.
