ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Pigs (Three Different Ones) on drums

175 bars, 11:36, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

54 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 9-10, 12-17 and 35-36, and 3 more places -- 15.4% 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 46 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 -- C -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- O, G -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through the Verse and the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Bars 29-35 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bars 35-75 -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  6. Bars 55-74 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. Through Part O and Part K -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
