ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play No Name Yet on drums

175 bars of 4/4 at 150 BPM, about 4:39 of playing, on crash, 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.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 14-25, 36-42 and 52-58, and 2 more places -- 24.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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 -- C, G -- 5 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 34-59 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 3 and Part I -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through Part I and Part K -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Through Part K -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  7. Through Part K and Part M -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  8. Bars 86-97 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  9. and 4 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is No Name Yet?

150 BPM, in 4/4, 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 No Name Yet 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 4:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 No Name Yet?

12 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 26, 27, 43, 63, 71, 96 and 15 more.
