ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Five Eyes on drums

152 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

62 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 66 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 -- I -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Q, S -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-49 -- 7 exercises, about 37 minutes.
  4. Bars 1-17 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through Part F and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus and Part O -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. Bars 37-52 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  8. Through Part S and Part T -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  9. and 10 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Five Eyes?

185 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 Five Eyes hard to play on drums?

62 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 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 Five Eyes?

18 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 28, 32, 40 and 29 more.
