The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26, 30 and 34, and 6 more places -- 6.9% 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 49 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, H -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- M (a two-bar phrase) -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 8 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 45-90 -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Chorus and Part S -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is One By One?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 One By One hard to play on drums?

59 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 4:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 16 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 One By One?

16 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 22, 24, 41, 45, 49, 53 and 17 more.
