THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14, 16-17 and 27, and 2 more places -- 14% 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 Amon .?

124 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Amon . hard to play on drums?

57 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 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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 Amon .?

7 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 25 more.
