ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play List on drums

77 bars, 4:11, at 74 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

30 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- A, C -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 21-36 -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 33-59 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro 2 -- 2 exercises, about 6 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is List?

74 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is List hard to play on drums?

30 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 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 List?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 24, 49, 50, 67, 68 and 76.
