THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-41, 43-45 and 47-49, and 17 more places -- 17.2% 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 Blank?

165 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Blank hard to play on drums?

47 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

205 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 12 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 Blank?

17 fills to learn, played 55 times: bars 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 49 more.
