How to play Lost Boys on drums

130 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 3:08 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

56 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 28 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 -- G, E -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part C -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part C -- 5 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  4. Bars 17-40 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 37-84 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Bars 81-95 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Lost Boys?

156 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 Lost Boys hard to play on drums?

56 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Lost Boys?

2 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 36, 64, 106, 114 and 126.
