How to play 1T1 on drums

84 bars at 182 BPM -- fast, and 1:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

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

What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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 -- M, E -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part E -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 1T1?

182 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 1T1 hard to play on drums?

64 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 1:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 1T1?

5 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 3, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 11 more.
