How to play 578 on drums

221 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 4:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

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

What the course does

It cuts the song into 54 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 -- L, F -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-20 -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is 578?

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 578 hard to play on drums?

62 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?

221 bars, about 4:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 15 sittings, about 28 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 578?

13 fills to learn, played 54 times: bars 8, 33, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 48 more.
