ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play 115 - 6 String on drums

184 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:40 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

silence through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-41, ride through bars 42-49, snare through bars 50-67, hi-hat through bars 68-73 and toms through bars 74-75, and 8 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-16, 34-40 and 68-73, and 3 more places -- 17.5% 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 58 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 -- F, X -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Y -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 18-152 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Bars 14-25 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 20-34 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is 115 - 6 String?

200 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 115 - 6 String hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in 115 - 6 String?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 21, 32, 33, 43, 44, 45 and 13 more.
