ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Resonance on drums

60 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 1:27 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

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 12 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 -- F -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part C and the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Bars 34-43 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  4. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Resonance?

165 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 Resonance hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 1:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 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.
