THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17, 20-21 and 29-30, and 13 more places -- 13.8% 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 A Home?

150 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 A Home hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 72 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

196 bars, about 5:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 83 exercises over 25 sittings, about 26 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 A Home?

35 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 68 more.
