ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play joey on drums

160 bars, 9:33, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 31 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, U -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.

  4. Through Part H and the Chorus 2 -- 7 exercises, about 25 minutes.

  6. Through Part O and the Chorus 3 -- 8 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is joey?

70 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 joey 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 9:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 joey?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 21, 29, 37, 42, 43, 44 and 13 more.
