ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Khomaniac on drums

303 bars at 182 BPM -- fast, and 6:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

63 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 53-55, 65-71 and 73-79, and 9 more places -- 19.6% 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 91 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 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J, Z -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Khomaniac?

182 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Khomaniac hard to play on drums?

63 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 72 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

303 bars, about 6:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 91 exercises over 24 sittings, about 27 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 Khomaniac?

31 fills to learn, played 65 times: bars 8, 12, 16, 24, 30, 31 and 59 more.
