ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Someday on drums

84 bars of 4/4 at 113 BPM, about 2:58 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 15 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 -- G, H -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-24 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  3. Bars 17-57 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
