THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 49-55, 57-63 and 73-79, and 1 more place -- 23.7% 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 Bartzabel?

110 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 Bartzabel hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 4:52 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, 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 Bartzabel?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 56, 80, 89, 90, 94, 96 and 5 more.
