ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play The Loneliest on drums

64 bars, 3:56, at 65 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25 and 27, and 3 more places -- 18.9% 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 28 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 -- F, B -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 36 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 21-37 -- 4 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and the Verse -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. Bars 41-53 -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  7. Through the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  8. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The Loneliest?

65 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is The Loneliest hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 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 Loneliest?

9 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 16, 20, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 8 more.
