How to play Mojo Pin on drums

103 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 119 BPM, 4:14 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

50 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 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 -- C -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. Through Part D and the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 54-83 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Mojo Pin?

119 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Mojo Pin hard to play on drums?

50 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 4:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 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 Mojo Pin?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 63, 64 and 67.
