ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Passion on drums

176 bars at 194 BPM -- fast, and 3:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 57, 59 and 61, and 21 more places -- 21.4% 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 57 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.

Questions

What BPM is Passion?

194 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 Passion hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

10 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 4, 8, 40, 48, 56, 76 and 10 more.
