ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Lip Split on drums

119 bars of 4/4 at a walking 105 BPM, 4:31 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 47 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 -- T, Z -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Is Lip Split hard to play on drums?

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
