ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Terminal Punishment on drums

192 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 4:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-21, 35-39 and 41-48, and 5 more places -- 17.2% 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 65 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.

Questions

What BPM is Terminal Punishment?

175 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 Terminal Punishment hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Terminal Punishment?

16 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 8, 12, 52, 56, 64, 68 and 32 more.
