How to play Guilty After All on drums

391 bars at 208 BPM -- fast, and 7:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

56 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 98 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 -- Y -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Q -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 4 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  4. Bars 1-23 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Guilty After All?

208 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 Guilty After All hard to play on drums?

56 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

391 bars, about 7:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 98 exercises over 27 sittings, about 26 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 Guilty After All?

19 fills to learn, played 57 times: bars 1, 2, 27, 31, 35, 38 and 51 more.
