ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Rosemary on drums

72 bars, 4:49, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 20-22 and 30, and 2 more places -- 21% 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 26 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 -- D -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- AC, P -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-59 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 7-19 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through the Verse and the Chorus 2 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Bars 32-65 -- 8 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 20 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Rosemary?

60 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 Rosemary hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

72 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 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 Rosemary?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 7, 8, 23, 26, 27, 31 and 12 more.
