ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Untitled on drums

133 bars at 169 BPM -- fast, and 3:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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 65-79 and 105-115 -- 19.8% 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 42 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 -- T, P -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- R -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 1 exercise, about 15 minutes.
  4. Through Part B and Part A -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  5. Through Part A -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Untitled?

169 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 Untitled 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 3:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 13 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 Untitled?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 26, 28, 32 and 5 more.
