How to play The One on drums

112 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 4:59 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

53 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

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-63, 65-67 and 89-91, and 5 more places -- 23.3% 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 34 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 -- O -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F, Q -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The One?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is The One hard to play on drums?

53 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 One?

9 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 36, 40, 56, 60, 64 and 5 more.
