THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-25, 27-29 and 39-41, and 6 more places -- 25.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Anna?

130 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 Anna 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 9 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 Anna?

12 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 8, 20, 21, 26, 30, 34 and 22 more.
