ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hansnuhana on drums

78 bars, 4:33, at 67 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-5, 35-37 and 39-41, and 4 more places -- 23.4% 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 31 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 Hansnuhana?

67 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Hansnuhana 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Hansnuhana?

9 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 1, 6, 16, 33, 34, 38 and 12 more.
