ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Endless Possibility on drums

206 bars at 208 BPM -- fast, and 3:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

57 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 49-63, 103 and 105-119, and 2 more places -- 23.6% 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 56 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 -- K -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I, H -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part C -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part C -- 1 exercise, about 16 minutes.
  5. Through Part C and Part E -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Endless Possibility?

208 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 Endless Possibility hard to play on drums?

57 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

206 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Endless Possibility?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, 72 and 15 more.
