How to play Dust To Dust on drums

120 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 2:31 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

56 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 24 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 -- H, B -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part D -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 50-94 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  5. Bars 86-101 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Dust To Dust?

190 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 Dust To Dust hard to play on drums?

56 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

120 bars, about 2:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Dust To Dust?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 25, 41, 57, 65, 81, 93 and 4 more.
