ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play One By One (Complete) on drums

216 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 4:11 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

60 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

What the course does

It cuts the song into 80 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 -- S -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- V -- 3 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 3 exercises, about 34 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is One By One (Complete)?

190 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 One By One (Complete) hard to play on drums?

60 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

216 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 20 sittings, about 28 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 One By One (Complete)?

21 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 21, 22, 24, 31, 32, 36 and 44 more.
