ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Wetdream on drums

391 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 9:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

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

The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 43 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 -- I, A -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Wetdream?

160 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 Wetdream hard to play on drums?

41 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

391 bars, about 9:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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 Wetdream?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 58, 70, 74, 204, 205, 206 and 1 more.
