ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Lane Boy on drums

149 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

61 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 5-6, 9-10 and 13-14, and 15 more places -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around 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 -- C, D (a two-bar phrase) -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part S2 -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  4. Bars 59-84 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 83-133 -- 7 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  6. Through Part I and the Break 3 -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Lane Boy?

160 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 Lane Boy hard to play on drums?

61 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 7 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.

How many fills are in Lane Boy?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 116, 124, 128, 131, 132 and 136.
