THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 133-135, 137-143 and 145-151, and 1 more place -- 14.8% 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 1801?

142 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is 1801 hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 5:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 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 1801?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 2, 31, 33, 59, 60 and 8 more.
