How to play Vide Infra on drums

153 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 3:08 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

55 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

What the course does

It cuts the song into 51 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 -- A, D -- 2 exercises, about 25 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Vide Infra?

195 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 Vide Infra hard to play on drums?

55 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Vide Infra?

12 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 7, 15, 16, 32, 40, 41 and 27 more.
