How to play Reminisensi on drums

154 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 3:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

46 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 28 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, B -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Bars 70-115 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through Part K and the Chorus 2 -- 9 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Bars 118-138 -- 8 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Reminisensi?

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 Reminisensi hard to play on drums?

46 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

154 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in Reminisensi?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 61, 63, 64, 65, 89, 105 and 7 more.
