How to play Beach Life-In-Death on drums

470 bars at 162 BPM -- fast, and 11:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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 55 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 Beach Life-In-Death?

162 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 Beach Life-In-Death 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

470 bars, about 11:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 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 Beach Life-In-Death?

12 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 82, 98, 113, 114, 138, 154 and 28 more.
