ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Made in Russia on drums

144 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 3:40 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

62 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 16-18, 20-22 and 24-26, and 9 more places -- 26.6% 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 45 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.

Questions

What BPM is Made in Russia?

155 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 Made in Russia hard to play on drums?

62 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?

144 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, 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 Made in Russia?

12 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 32 more.
