What the course does

It cuts the song into 11 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 -- E -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Bars 19-94 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

What BPM is You And Me?

140 BPM, in 3/4, 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 You And Me hard to play on drums?

28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

99 bars, about 2:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
