ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Marliese on drums

175 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:07 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

46 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 24 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 -- D, C -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-36 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 32-47 -- 4 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part F -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 92-119 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Marliese?

170 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 Marliese 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 4:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Marliese?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 16, 99 and 128.
