ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play VALENTINE on drums

82 bars of 4/4 at a walking 95 BPM, 3:27 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.

kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-21, hi-hat through bars 22-29, snare through bars 30-40, toms through bars 41-42 and hi-hat through bars 43-57, and 1 more change after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-20 and 42-48 -- 20% 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 25 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, D -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 25-44 -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  5. Bars 45-61 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.

  7. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is VALENTINE?

95 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is VALENTINE hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 VALENTINE?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 25, 53, 57, 61 and 81.
