ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play The World on drums

170 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

60 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 37 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, F -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- P -- 5 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  3. Through Part F and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is The World?

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 The World hard to play on drums?

60 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, 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 World?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 169 and 170.
