4. SONG PART GATE

Song Part Gate is an advanced exercise for playing actual
drum patterns along with a part of a song. For example,
you can practice just the fill-in part in the song, or only the
hand parts of the basic drum pattern of the song. Before
working on Song Part Gate, it would be better to master
the other basic training programs. Then once you master
Song Part Gate, you can confidently work on Song Score
Gate (page 35) for playing the entire song!
