ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Metalhörnchen on drums

175 bars at 207 BPM -- fast, and 3:44 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

58 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 46 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 -- E, S -- 2 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 3 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part I -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Metalhörnchen?

207 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 Metalhörnchen hard to play on drums?

58 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Metalhörnchen?

9 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 36, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45 and 8 more.
