ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Satu on drums

89 bars, 4:43, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

45 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 25-27, 29-32 and 71-73, and 3 more places -- 30.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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 -- F -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Satu?

75 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 Satu hard to play on drums?

45 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 4:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 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.

How many fills are in Satu?

12 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 16, 24, 28, 35, 47, 51 and 7 more.
