ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Lion And The Lamb on drums

190 bars at 176 BPM -- fast, and 4:19 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

46 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 50 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 -- E, M -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Lion And The Lamb?

176 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 Lion And The Lamb hard to play on drums?

46 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lion And The Lamb?

11 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 17, 33, 41 and 24 more.
