ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hello, World! on drums

219 bars at 211 BPM -- fast, and 4:09 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

59 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 -- Y, F -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Hello, World!?

211 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 Hello, World! 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 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Hello, World!?

13 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 21, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45 and 28 more.
