THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

Questions

What BPM is 02?

240 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is 02 hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 3:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in 02?

17 fills to learn, played 99 times: bars 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 93 more.
