ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Shine on drums

111 bars, 5:55, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

59 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 1-12, 25-36 and 49-52, and 1 more place -- 33.3% 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 20 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 -- A, E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through the Verse and Part B -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Through Part C and the Verse 2 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 15-56 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Bars 67-107 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Shine?

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 Shine hard to play on drums?

59 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 5:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Shine?

1 fill to learn, played 3 times: bars 24, 48 and 92.
