How to play THAT BAND on drums

163 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:26 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

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

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 68-73, 100-105 and 132-138, and 1 more place -- 16.3% 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 67 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 -- 1 exercise, about 14 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is THAT BAND?

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 THAT BAND hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 18 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 THAT BAND?

16 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 19, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33 and 27 more.
