How to play RAWFEAR on drums

89 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 3:13 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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, J -- 3 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Bars 13-40 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 28-45 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 44-67 -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is RAWFEAR?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 RAWFEAR hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.
