How to play Fogged In on drums

92 bars at 182 BPM -- fast, and 1:59 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

49 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 34 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 -- B, U -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Fogged In?

182 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 Fogged In hard to play on drums?

49 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 6 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

92 bars, about 1:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 8 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Fogged In?

6 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 15, 39, 56, 60, 76 and 92.
