ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play 1184 on drums

229 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 5:33 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 55-56, 78-88 and 98-99, and 4 more places -- 18.6% 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 67 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.

Questions

What BPM is 1184?

165 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 1184 hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

229 bars, about 5:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor 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 1184?

13 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 25, 26, 33, 34, 54, 57 and 19 more.
