ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Ten Minutes on drums

134 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 40 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 -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Ten Minutes?

170 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 Ten Minutes hard to play on drums?

55 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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.

How many fills are in Ten Minutes?

11 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 25 and 34 more.
