ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Dead Bodies Everywhere on drums

101 bars, 7:20, at 55 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

50 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-16 and 26-28, and 3 more places -- 20.4% 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 27 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, S -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part B -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 30-57 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Chorus 3 and the Break -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Dead Bodies Everywhere?

55 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Dead Bodies Everywhere hard to play on drums?

50 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 7:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Dead Bodies Everywhere?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 12, 25, 29, 41, 45, 80 and 1 more.
