ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Gone With The Wind on drums

130 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

53 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

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 23-27, 29-33 and 35, and 5 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 35 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 -- M -- 6 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- AG -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Gone With The Wind?

155 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 Gone With The Wind hard to play on drums?

53 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 Gone With The Wind?

12 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 30 more.
