ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Fleabag on drums

73 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 2:55 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-16 and 30-40 -- 21.5% 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 18 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.

Is Fleabag hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
