How to play BYOB on drums
- Plug in your electronic drum kit over USB — or play on the keyboard.
- Press play. The notes of BYOB come down in time with the recording. Play it in Beatfall or read it as drum notation.
- Slow it down. Take the Fill into Chorus at 0.5× or 0.75× with a click and a count-in, then bring it up to 164 BPM.
- Check every hit — on time, early or late — before you record your BYOB drum cover.
