What the course does

It cuts the song into 22 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 27 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 5-40 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 37-109 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is We've Had Enough?

180 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 We've Had Enough hard to play on drums?

64 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 3:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 We've Had Enough?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 24, 32, 36, 52, 60, 72 and 6 more.
