ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Corseting on drums

97 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 260 BPM, 2:14 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

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 -- B -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 10-49 -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Bars 30-45 -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes. Open above.
  5. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Corseting?

260 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Corseting hard to play on drums?

47 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 2:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 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.
