ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play My Own Summer - Deftones on drums

66 bars, 3:40, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick and nothing else.

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

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.
