What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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, M -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Victorious?

110 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 Victorious hard to play on drums?

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 12 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Victorious?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 17, 25, 29, 49, 53, 77 and 1 more.
