ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Rising Hope on drums

196 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 4:05 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

60 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 51-53, 55-56 and 59-61, and 7 more places -- 10.7% 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 86 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 -- AB -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- S -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Rising Hope?

190 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 Rising Hope hard to play on drums?

60 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

196 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 86 exercises over 24 sittings, about 27 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.

How many fills are in Rising Hope?

27 fills to learn, played 61 times: bars 10, 14, 26, 29, 30, 34 and 55 more.
