How to play Dimension on drums

146 bars of 4/4 at 145 BPM, about 4:02 of playing, on crash, ride, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

The beat

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.

Questions

145 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Dimension hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 4:02 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, 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.
