ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play When I Met You on drums

73 bars, 4:00, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

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.

Questions

What BPM is When I Met You?

71 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is When I Met You hard to play on drums?

45 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

73 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 When I Met You?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 3, 37, 46 and 58.
