ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Sanctified on drums

110 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 2:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-3, snare through bars 4-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, snare through bars 17-34 and hi-hat through bars 35-42, and 15 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 27-29, 31-32 and 51-53, and 7 more places -- 24.3% 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 45 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.

Questions

What BPM is Sanctified?

170 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 Sanctified hard to play on drums?

57 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 Sanctified?

13 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 7, 16, 24, 30, 38, 42 and 18 more.
