ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Cupiditas Lividas on drums

299 bars, 16:47, at 74 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

55 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 73 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 -- G -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- K, AJ -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-74 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part U -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.

299 bars, about 16:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 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.
