Drop Out by NW260
Maniac Single Normal Expert analysis! By Steve! To start off, before Max300 came along this was probably one of the most intimidating songs and by far the fastest. Even if you are really good at this song, it�s still hard to do because it is so fast and requires so much energy. 260 bpm is not easy. Unless you�re on basic, in which case, get out of here! Explanations of rhythms: �_� is a whole beat rest. �-� is a half beat rest. This song will require you to be fast and read fast steps. Without further ado, Drop Out. �Pre-step music� I have no idea what they�re saying here. Don�t let it distract you. It sounds like �Great fries! Repeat! Buy 7 fries! 5 magazines! Hey!� �Bars 1-8� This part with these alarm noises isn�t too difficult at all. The first 2 measures repeat 4 times with slight step variations. _Jump__-Up_LR You�ll be seeing the second part of that rhythm later. The U and L are on downbeats. �Bars 9-19� It gets slightly harder here. After an easy quarter-step pattern (RDRLDLR) it repeats a rhythm for eight measures: 1-2-Jump_1-2-3-4-1-2-Jump_ The steps themselves aren�t that complicated, but again the speed factor comes in, which makes these jumps somewhat difficult to do, but not nearly as hard as what�s about to come. �Bars 20-36� Now this is difficult. Jumping quarter runs at 260 bpm. For the first 4 measure run of this nightmare, I can�t offer much advice except that you should not jump too high. Spend more energy moving your feet across the panels instead of into the air. You can go all out doing these jumps because after this, there�s a part where you can recover. The next 4 measures are easy. A simple-to-do 3-measure quarter run, followed by the rhythm -Jump_1-2_ which is a recurring rhythm in the song. Then we have somewhat of a problem. You�re going to have to twist while doing the next 4 measures of jumping. There�s a U+D jump first. Whichever foot you hit D with, you�ll have to keep on that arrow for the LD and RD jumps. In other words, if you hit D with your left foot on the first jump, you�ll have to cross over so you hit the following LD jump with your right foot on L and your left on D. Stay like this for the whole run. Another 3-measure quarter run followed by the offbeat jump-step-step rhythm. �Bars 36-46� This is the exact same rhythm as bars 9-19, it just doesn�t have the jumps. You should be able to sight read this. �Bars 46-54� 3 measures of the rhythm 1-2-Jump_ followed by a long series of quarter notes which will require you to turn in one part where you see U-D-R-D-L-R. Cross over with your left foot to hit the first R and the world is easier. [Bar 54]-This is interesting. 1-2-1234. We got some eighth-notes. They�ll throw this LRLRL (or RLRLR) 8th-note crap at you from now on. �Bars 54-70� This rhythm is not hard. It repeats twice. 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-12341-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4_Jump-12_ Got that 5 8th-notes-in-a-row thing again. Not hard if you can step it fast enough. �Bars 70-80� I�d write something on this section, but it would be a waste of my time. Nobody should be able to get this far and fail in these 10 bars. �Bars 81-89� AIIEEE!!! This is similar to the triple step part of Max300. Basically, it�s 8th-note triple steps. 123-123-123-123- The only part you�re not stepping is on the downbeats of 2 and 4. The first triple step is UDU. Do us both a big favor and hit that U with your left foot. This way, you don�t have to practically do this whole section backwards. And I�m sure you don�t want that. This may sound insane, but you�ll have to turn here as well. After 2 measures there�s a series that goes ULU RLR DUD RLR UDU RUR DLD RUR DLD DRD DLD Hit the first U with your left foot here, then hit the R with your right, D with your left, R with your right. You always want to hit the first step of a triple step with the opposite foot that you hit the last step with. In other words, always alternate feet here. �Bars 90-98� Geez! 8th-note quads. Well you�ve reached the hardest part of the song. First off, an 8th-note quad is exclusive to this song. It�s when there�s 4 8th-notes that are repeated. For instance: UDUDLRLRUDUDLRLR. The �UD� is repeated. These are difficult only because of the speed. You can not afford to get off-balance here. Try to stay leaning towards the center. Anyway, you need to make every half-beat here emphasized because that�s when the quads change. It�s like �DAdadada DAdadada DAdadada DAdadada� Use up as much energy as possible here! Step like crazy! �Bars 99-103� This is just weird. There�s jumps here, but they�re all on offbeats. Catch this rhythm if you can. All of this is on the offbeats. It helps to listen to those low-pitched sound effects that go �bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum�� Strike a pose, my friend, you have just completed Drop Out! Now find some water!
