ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Reise, Reise on drums

60 bars, 3:42, at 65 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

62 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 16 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 -- 4 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 35-57 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 7 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Reise, Reise?

65 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Reise, Reise hard to play on drums?

62 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 3:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.

How many fills are in Reise, Reise?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 6, 28, 44, 48, 52, 56 and 1 more.
