In this adaptation of “Heroes”, it is important to master your first binary rhythm as well as exercise 3 of the “Binary rhythms” course. This rhythmic knowledge will be essential for you to play this song accurately. It is recommended that you be able to play them at a speed of 113 beats per minute, which may seem quite speed for a beginner, but with regular practice you will be able to reach this speed comfortably.
Fills in this adaptation are all quite similar and relatively simple. Fills are times when the drums play a distinct rhythm part, usually marked by rhythm variations or fills. In the case of “Heroes,” these fills are designed to add accents and interesting transitions while maintaining the overall simplicity of the song.
To play these fills well, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rhythmic music theory course “2 sixteenth notes / eighth note”. This exercise will allow you to work on coordination between sixteenth notes and eighth notes, as well as develop your rhythmic precision. By mastering this exercise, you will be able to approach fills in “Heroes” with ease and play them with confidence.
By working regularly and practicing with a metronome to maintain rhythmic stability, you will be able to progress at your own pace and reach the level required for this adaptation of “Heroes”. Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the speed as you feel more comfortable. The key is to practice regularly and concentratedly to develop a solid rhythmic understanding.

In this version of “Heroes”, the arrangement follows the structure of the original version. However, there is one notable difference: kick drum offbeats are more frequent and play a larger role in the overall rhythm of the song. To play this version well, it is necessary to consolidate the prerequisites mentioned previously, while developing certain specific skills.
First of all, it is essential to master the basics of the first binary rhythm and exercise 3 of the “Binary Rhythms” course. This rhythmic knowledge will allow you to maintain the fundamental structure of the rhythm while adding variations and offbeats.
However, to tackle more frequent bass drum mishaps, it is recommended to work on exercise 8 of the “Binary Rhythms” course. This specific exercise will allow you to develop your precision and coordination in the execution of rhythmic offbeats on the bass drum. Practice these backbeats slowly at first, focusing on getting in sync with the rest of the drums, then gradually increase the speed as you gain confidence.
In addition to mishaps, it is important to master hi-hat openings. Hi-hat overtures are rhythmic accents played with the hi-hat pedal. They add dynamics and character to the drums, and their proper rhythmic placement is essential to capturing the essence of the song.
To work on hi-hat openings, use specific exercises that allow you to develop your precision and coordination between hands and feet. Practice them with a metronome to maintain rhythmic stability.
