ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play KiLL KiSS (6 strings) on drums

134 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 2:41 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

58 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 46 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 -- D -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- A -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is KiLL KiSS (6 strings)?

200 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 KiLL KiSS (6 strings) hard to play on drums?

58 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

15 fills to learn, played 52 times: bars 2, 4, 18, 25, 26, 31 and 46 more.
