THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-5, 18-21 and 34-37, and 3 more places -- 18.3% 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 Autopsy?

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

Is Autopsy hard to play on drums?

99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 88 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 18 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 Autopsy?

11 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 12, 28, 41, 45, 49, 59 and 16 more.
