ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Männer on drums

188 bars at 187 BPM -- fast, and 4:01 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 12 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 -- B, A -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part A -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 102-142 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 15 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Männer?

187 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 Männer hard to play on drums?

46 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

188 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
