The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 36-38, 40-42 and 84, and 3 more places -- 11% 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 49 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 -- S -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Cidephile?

170 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 Cidephile hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 Cidephile?

17 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 8, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 23 more.
