ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Within Me on drums

92 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 80 BPM, 3:27 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick.

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

The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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, G, D -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-51 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  4. Through Part G and Part K -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  5. Bars 53-83 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
