ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Mysteria on drums

229 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 5:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, 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.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-51, 53-60 and 95-101, and 4 more places -- 28.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 45 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 -- N -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- Y, F -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part F and the Break -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part S4 and Part F -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  5. Bars 33-86 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Mysteria?

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

How long is the drum part?

229 bars, about 5:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Mysteria?

12 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 7, 8, 28, 42, 43, 52 and 14 more.
