How to play Carry on (full song) on drums

203 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 4:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.

The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 77 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 Carry on (full song)?

165 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 Carry on (full song) hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

203 bars, about 4:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 24 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Carry on (full song)?

15 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 14, 29, 30, 31, 37, 43 and 30 more.
