THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 14-16, 18-21 and 80-82, and 1 more place -- 9.3% 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 2?

120 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 2 hard to play on drums?

61 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 6:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 2?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 13, 17, 28, 30, 47, 56 and 10 more.
