ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Untitled on drums

172 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:37 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-16, 77-92 and 137-152 -- 20.9% 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 52 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 -- E, F -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Untitled?

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 Untitled hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Untitled?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 8, 70, 74, 76, 100, 104 and 2 more.
