ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Harukaze on drums

184 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 4:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

57 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 60 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 -- Q -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B, L -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through Part G -- 1 exercise, about 15 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 1-22 -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  6. Through Part F and Part G -- 4 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  7. Through Part G and Part L -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.

  9. and 10 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Harukaze?

165 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 Harukaze hard to play on drums?

57 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Harukaze?

14 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 1, 8, 9, 17, 25, 33 and 35 more.
