ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Illusion on drums

68 bars, 4:46, at 57 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-27, 49-51 and 53-55, and 1 more place -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 33 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 -- K -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- S, C -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part C -- 5 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  4. Through Part C and Part F -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through Part F and Part I -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  6. Bars 15-21 -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  7. Through the Chorus and Part M -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  8. Bars 25-41 -- 7 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  9. and 2 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Illusion?

57 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Illusion hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Illusion?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 3, 5, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 13 more.
