ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hawaiienne on drums

112 bars at 188 BPM -- fast, and 2:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

hi-hat through bars 2-17, snare through bars 18-27, hi-hat through bars 28-35, ride through bars 36-41, snare through bars 42-43 and toms through bars 44-45, and 7 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 28-34, 62-68 and 100-104, and 1 more place -- 18% 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 44 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 -- H, B -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Q -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 22-28 -- 5 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part K -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 32-50 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Bars 47-70 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. Through Part K and Part V -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes. Open above.
  8. Through Part V and Part X -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  9. and 3 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Hawaiienne?

188 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 Hawaiienne hard to play on drums?

59 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 2:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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 Hawaiienne?

11 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 27, 35, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 15 more.
