THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 17-18, and 13 more places -- 24.4% 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 Army Of The Night?

172 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Army Of The Night hard to play on drums?

50 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 9 sittings, about 30 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 Army Of The Night?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 56, 68, 89, 96, 97, 138 and 2 more.
