How to play Realize and Rebuild on drums

105 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 2:24 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

64 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 39 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 Realize and Rebuild?

172 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Realize and Rebuild hard to play on drums?

64 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 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 2:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 14 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Realize and Rebuild?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 48, 50, 55, 79, 80 and 81.
