ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play The Comedown on drums

193 bars at 206 BPM -- fast, and 3:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

62 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 86 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 -- E -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- A -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The Comedown?

206 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 The Comedown hard to play on drums?

62 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

193 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 86 exercises over 23 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in The Comedown?

29 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 2, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 68 more.
