THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65, 67 and 69, and 13 more places -- 19% 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 70?

169 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 70 hard to play on drums?

49 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

143 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 70?

9 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 16, 24, 56, 64, 66, 68 and 10 more.
