What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  3. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro 2 -- 6 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Warmetal?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Warmetal hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 2:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Warmetal?

9 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 4, 8, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 10 more.
