ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Whatever on drums

66 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 1:19 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 5 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 -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. Through the Outro -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.
  3. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
