How to play Vaina Ganter on drums

192 bars at 193 BPM -- fast, and 3:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 54 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.

Questions

What BPM is Vaina Ganter?

193 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 Vaina Ganter hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

192 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
