ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hate By Design on drums

160 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:33 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

61 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 one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 76-77, and 2 more places -- 15.4% 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 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.

Questions

What BPM is Hate By Design?

180 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 Hate By Design hard to play on drums?

61 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 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 Hate By Design?

12 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 20, 28, 36, 44, 45, 46 and 29 more.
