How to play Hellbound on drums

60 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 42 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 -- I, P -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and Part F -- 7 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. Through Part F and the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part K -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  5. Bars 56-240 -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  6. Bars 60-71 -- 7 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
  7. Bars 73-185 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  8. Through Part P and Part S13 -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  9. and 3 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Hellbound?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Hellbound hard to play on drums?

60 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

288 bars, about 5:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Hellbound?

7 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 8, 12, 66, 67, 117, 207 and 16 more.
