THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 57-58, and 1 more place -- 9.9% 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 Ay Ay Ay?

210 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Ay Ay Ay hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 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 Ay Ay Ay?

7 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 8, 16, 19, 20, 24, 32 and 4 more.
