ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play kagefumii on drums

82 bars, 4:36, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-8, 11-12 and 18-20, and 2 more places -- 16.7% 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 32 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.

Questions

What BPM is kagefumii?

70 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 kagefumii hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 4:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 kagefumii?

10 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 23 more.
