THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1, 9-10 and 13-14, and 2 more places -- 7.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is 02?

225 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second 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?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

129 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 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 47 times: bars 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 41 more.
