ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play The Others on drums

150 bars at 164 BPM -- fast, and 3:40 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

59 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 17 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 -- C -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part B -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Outro -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 4 exercises, about 20 minutes. Open above.
  5. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The Others?

164 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 Others hard to play on drums?

59 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 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 The Others?

3 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 16, 34, 40, 42, 48, 50 and 12 more.
