⬇READ MORE BELOW I prerecorded the drum solo then played the piano part along with it using headphones. I omitted repeats in the score below which I feel is more appropriate to a piano solo. *This video is made in the spirit of fun making and recording music at home.

Related video Ravel Bolero follow with score:

In this recording I used the 4th harmonic pedal only invented by Denis de La Rochefordière.

Practice tips:
You may be familiar with the Black Eyed Peas song "Dum Diddly"
"Dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley diddley".

To begin Bolero a good place to start is to repeat over and over:

Dum diddly
Dum diddly
Dum dum dum
Diddly dum
Diddly diddly diddly (and back to the beginning and repeat)

You can also tap on a table or a drum if you have one as you say the above.

Practice the right hand separately, then, before you play the left and right hand together as written, make a transition practice step by playing only the first note of each beat in the left hand along with the right hand. This saves tiring your left hand with repetition but still gets your hand used to finding the bass hand positions.

In this video I play a piano solo arrangement by Roger Branga which is in the public domain and can be downloaded (free) from IMSLP Music Library:

It seems the left hand is connected to
another brain 🧠 is exactly for this reason I am learning piano since if someone adult succeeds to reach that level of hands independence then he will have enhanced his brain with new neurones & connections !!!!anti ageing treatment ! Fantastic journey & perspective !! !! Excellent 👌🏾 demo !! Thank you so much !!

Rara versión, pero el encanto de esta música, que me atrapó hace 60 años, suena tan deliciosa como entonces! Felicitaciones y saludos cordiales desde Argentina!🇦🇷

Utterly brilliant. I've heard it 100 times. An analogy I came to think of: most of the times when you love a book and you see the movie you are very disappointed. Not in this case! The orchestral original work is such a fantastic musical experience that you would think the piano solo would be a disappointment. But wrong in the case of Mr. Barton. Utterly brilliant.

Very effective considering how it wasn't meant for piano. Your a fortunate man to be able to do that.Thanks.

Bolero is my favourite piece among the other classics and i thought the piano solo version would be "soulless" but I was so wrong! Great job, thank you!! I'm an amateur pianist and it seems difficult to play for me but I'll do my best and play to this arrangement one day :))))

Thank you for showing us the way to enjoy Bolero on the piano! The piece has an innate simplicity balanced by the sophistication of the orchestral arrangement but you’ve managed to retain its interest with just piano and drum, such a feat! Bravo! 🎉

Esse tambor aí dá uma boa semelhança da orquestra do Bolero de Ravel. Bravíssimo.

There is a whole new life with solo piano subtly forcasting each change in harmony. Thank you, Paul.

Such a big fan lately Paul! Amazing how you express the high pitches in strengths and keep the clef guided and softened. Superb technique. Learning now for 1 year, would like to be that level too after a couple of more!

A stunning revival! Akira Kurosawa adopted this for his masterpiece Rashomon. Thank you so much Sir Paul Barton. I am going to try it next for the love of my life.:)

Ouvir Ravel - bolero e não se apaixonar é a coisa mais difícil do mundo.
Me apaixonei por música clássica graças a essa obra de arte que é essa música de melodia envolvente e cativante.
