The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 9-11, and 29 more places -- 24.7% 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 Anotha One?

160 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Anotha One hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

360 bars, about 6:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Anotha One?

10 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 35 more.
