THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 31-37, 39-41 and 43-45, and 4 more places -- 24.3% 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 Alapaap?

115 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 Alapaap 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

141 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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 Alapaap?

6 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 30, 56, 64, 74, 80, 88 and 5 more.
