ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play help. on drums

86 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 2:52 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 17 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 -- C, A (a two-bar phrase) -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 18-30 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part K -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 15 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is help.?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is help. hard to play on drums?

26 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 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.
