ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Día Cero on drums

220 bars at 201 BPM -- fast, and 4:23 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

50 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 26 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 -- E, F -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. Bars 2-78 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 53-77 -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  4. Bars 107-122 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part J and the Chorus 2 -- 2 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Día Cero?

201 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 Día Cero 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

220 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Día Cero?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 161 and 162.
