ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play 夜 on drums

162 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:02 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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

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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- B, C -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 48-62 -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 59-97 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  4. Bars 90-115 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through Part C and the Chorus 5 -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 16 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is 夜?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is 夜 hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in 夜?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 114, 130, 145 and 146.
