ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Imahe on drums

94 bars, 5:14, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

46 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 47-53, 59-64 and 79-85 -- 23.5% 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 -- R, B -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 13-19 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 17-87 -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Imahe?

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

Is Imahe hard to play on drums?

46 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 5:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 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.

How many fills are in Imahe?

11 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 6, 18, 26, 30, 34, 36 and 13 more.
