THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 8, 12-14 and 42, and 4 more places -- 17.6% 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 Bad Company?

114 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 Bad Company hard to play on drums?

60 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Bad Company?

7 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 9, 13, 19, 43, 61, 65 and 8 more.
