ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Who Else on drums

154 bars, 9:04, at 68 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.

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

silence through bars 1-10, toms through bars 11-17, snare through bars 18-22, ride through bars 23-25, toms through bars 26-41 and kick and crashes through bars 42-49, and 17 more changes after that.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 15-16 and 109-110, and 1 more place -- 10.6% 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 52 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 -- B, P -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Who Else?

68 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 Who Else hard to play on drums?

44 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 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

154 bars, about 9:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 Who Else?

11 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 17, 26, 27, 28, 29, 41 and 26 more.
