ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play 1000hp on drums

165 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 3:32 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-16, kick and crashes through bars 17-18, hi-hat through bars 19-34, snare through bars 35-53 and hi-hat through bars 54-60, and 8 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 3-9, 11-16 and 19-21, and 14 more places -- 23.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- C, K -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- H -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and Part H -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 28-147 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 1000hp?

186 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 1000hp hard to play on drums?

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 10 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 1000hp?

8 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 17, 34, 50, 61, 78, 82 and 13 more.
