ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Kalapastangan on drums

82 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 82 BPM, 3:17 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- I, J, G -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Through Part D -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 12-37 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 28-74 -- 7 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.
