How to play Abracadavre Correct Bass on drums

What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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 -- O, P (a two-bar phrase) -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Bars 19-151 -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Abracadavre Correct Bass?

180 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 Abracadavre Correct Bass hard to play on drums?

52 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

246 bars, about 5:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Abracadavre Correct Bass?

5 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 19, 20, 51, 52, 87, 88 and 8 more.
