ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Nublado on drums

123 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 2:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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 23-24, 27 and 31-32, and 10 more places -- 24.5% 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 41 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 -- G, F -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- H (a two-bar phrase) -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 33-48 -- 5 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. Through Part G and the Chorus 2 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Nublado?

168 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 Nublado 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 2:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Nublado?

11 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 13, 20, 21, 29, 61, 62 and 13 more.
