THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-51, 53-55 and 77-79, and 1 more place -- 8.6% 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 1985?

142 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 1985 hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

227 bars, about 9:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in 1985?

13 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 45 more.
