ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play bajs on drums

59 bars at 270 BPM -- fast, and 0:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.

53 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 15 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 -- D, E -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Break and the Break 2 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-49 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 48-54 -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is bajs?

270 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 bajs hard to play on drums?

53 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 0:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 bajs?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 1, 41, 51, 52 and 53.
