THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-23 and 45-47, and 1 more place -- 21.4% 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 Ben Böyleyim?

85 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 Ben Böyleyim hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 2:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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 Ben Böyleyim?

7 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 20, 28, 29, 30, 40, 48 and 3 more.
