ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Rehab on drums

131 bars of 4/4 at 145 BPM, about 3:37 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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

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 19 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 Rehab?

145 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 Rehab hard to play on drums?

53 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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.
