How to play Pure Hatred on drums

92 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 2:03 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

58 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 33-39, 41-48 and 59-65, and 1 more place -- 33% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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 Pure Hatred?

180 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 Pure Hatred hard to play on drums?

58 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?

92 bars, about 2:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 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 Pure Hatred?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 23, 24, 40, 66 and 74.
