ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Nude on drums

88 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 64 BPM, 4:08 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- B -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.
  2. Bars 57-65 -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Through Part E and the Outro -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 77-88 -- 6 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Nude?

64 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Nude hard to play on drums?

49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Nude?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 47, 76, 80 and 84.
