ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Red Socks Pugie on drums

192 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- A -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D, I -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Red Socks Pugie?

155 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 Red Socks Pugie hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Red Socks Pugie?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 111 and 112.
