What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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.

Is Won't Stay Late hard to play on drums?

99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 93 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

86 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
