ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Driksa on drums

220 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 145 BPM, 5:13 of playing on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

51 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 52, 60 and 66, and 25 more places -- 14% 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 69 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 -- N, J -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part D -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Driksa?

145 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Driksa hard to play on drums?

51 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

220 bars, about 5:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Driksa?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 33, 41, 129, 142, 143, 144 and 10 more.
