The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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 -- N -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- G, D -- 3 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  3. Bars 15-24 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through Part D and Part G -- 9 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Through Part G and the Chorus -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Through the Chorus and Part S -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. Bars 70-90 -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  8. Through Part S and Part V -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  9. and 5 more sittings after that.

Questions

What BPM is Vampiria?

92 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 Vampiria hard to play on drums?

64 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 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 6:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 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 Vampiria?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 40, 41, 49, 57, 65, 67 and 19 more.
