How to play Under The Wreath on drums

101 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 2:36 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, 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.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-27, 29-36 and 55-56 -- 14.3% 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 39 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 -- G, B -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- S -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Under The Wreath?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Under The Wreath 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 2:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Under The Wreath?

10 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 16, 24, 42, 44, 59, 73 and 15 more.
