ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Mine on drums

77 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 138 BPM, 3:21 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

31 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 22 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, I -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Mine?

138 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Mine hard to play on drums?

31 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 9 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 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 Mine?

7 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 8, 29, 31, 32, 34, 36 and 2 more.
