The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 82-84, 86-90 and 92-95 -- 13.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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 -- AK -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is MALICE?

103 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is MALICE hard to play on drums?

96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 MALICE?

11 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 18 more.
