ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Whore on drums

90 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 4:00 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

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

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-26, 28-30 and 49-51, and 5 more places -- 32.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 27 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 -- C -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B, F -- 6 exercises, about 36 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-32 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus 2 -- 6 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  5. Bars 48-64 -- 7 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  6. Bars 57-90 -- 5 exercises, about 22 minutes. Open above.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Whore?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Whore 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 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 Whore?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 27, 37, 41, 46, 52, 56 and 6 more.
