ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Sempurna on drums

126 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 137 BPM, 2:46 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

53 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 7, 9 and 11, and 14 more places -- 15.7% 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 37 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, K, E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-27 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part E -- 6 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Through Part E and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.

Is Sempurna hard to play on drums?

53 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 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

What do I need on the kit?
