How to play Crybaby on drums

148 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 3:02 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

54 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 25 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, E -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 30-98 -- 9 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  4. Bars 96-116 -- 8 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 100-132 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Crybaby?

195 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 Crybaby hard to play on drums?

54 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

148 bars, about 3:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Crybaby?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 17, 21, 29, 33, 65, 69 and 9 more.
