ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Wanna Be Loved on drums

61 bars, 3:19, at 73 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 11 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 -- C -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Bars 36-52 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes. Open above.
