THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 64-66, and 4 more places -- 16% 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 Aku Milikmu?

134 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 Aku Milikmu hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 9 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Aku Milikmu?

14 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 24, 29, 37, 43, 45, 47 and 17 more.
