How to play Hollywood on drums

90 bars of 4/4 at a walking 80 BPM, 4:30 of playing, on crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14, 18 and 21-22, and 5 more places -- 15.3% 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 35 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 -- G, B -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- H -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Bars 6-74 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Hollywood?

80 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 Hollywood hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 4:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Hollywood?

11 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 9, 12, 13, 32, 33, 36 and 26 more.
