How to play Girl Of Glass on drums

164 bars at 225 BPM -- fast, and 2:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 32 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.

Questions

What BPM is Girl Of Glass?

225 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 Girl Of Glass hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

164 bars, about 2:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 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 Girl Of Glass?

6 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 76 and 10 more.
