ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Resurrection on drums

212 bars at 196 BPM -- fast, and 4:19 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

58 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 43-46, 51-54 and 83-86, and 11 more places -- 20.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 53 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 -- Q, R -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part G -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Resurrection?

196 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 Resurrection hard to play on drums?

58 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Resurrection?

17 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 6, 10, 17, 18, 24, 25 and 30 more.
