ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Carcass (Chapter II) on drums

183 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 4:10 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-14, 16-17 and 19-20, and 17 more places -- 21.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 38 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 -- H -- 1 exercise, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 1 exercise, about 18 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Carcass (Chapter II)?

175 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 Carcass (Chapter II) hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

183 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Carcass (Chapter II)?

3 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 1, 6, 58, 73, 74, 75 and 5 more.
