How to play Red Room on drums

77 bars of 4/4 at a walking 81 BPM, 3:47 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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 13 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 -- D, C -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 51-70 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Red Room?

81 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 Red Room hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
