What the course does

It cuts the song into 77 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, Q -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- BI -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is wherever you are 1?

136 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 wherever you are 1 hard to play on drums?

57 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

258 bars, about 7:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 21 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 wherever you are 1?

30 fills to learn, played 58 times: bars 17, 33, 35, 37, 47, 57 and 52 more.
