ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play PRAUDA 3 on drums

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

49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

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 -- P, N -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is PRAUDA 3?

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 PRAUDA 3 hard to play on drums?

49 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

199 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 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 PRAUDA 3?

14 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 16, 32, 40, 44, 45, 46 and 33 more.
