THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 50-56 and 88-94 -- 14.6% 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 Anybody Home?

100 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Anybody Home hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Anybody Home?

11 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 27 more.
