How to play Fallen Ideals 1 & 2 on drums

123 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 3:08 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

64 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 43 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 -- G -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Fallen Ideals 1 & 2?

156 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Fallen Ideals 1 & 2 hard to play on drums?

64 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 15 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Fallen Ideals 1 & 2?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 63 and 71.
