ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Sitai Miss Me on drums

180 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

62 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 a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 69-83, 93-96 and 125-132, and 1 more place -- 17.7% 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 71 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 -- W, A -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Sitai Miss Me?

190 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 Sitai Miss Me hard to play on drums?

62 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?

180 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Sitai Miss Me?

16 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 20, 27, 28, 36, 43, 44 and 26 more.
