How to play Slave New World on drums

68 bars, 4:59, at 55 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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 -- C, I -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- P -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Slave New World?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

68 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 9 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.

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 19, 20, 21, 33, 37 and 41.
