THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 92-93, 95-96 and 98-99, and 12 more places -- 24% 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 Black Label?

90 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 Black Label hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 5:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 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 Black Label?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 16, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 10 more.
