THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10, 13-14 and 17-19, and 6 more places -- 11.8% 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 Bliss In 7 Languages?

194 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 Bliss In 7 Languages hard to play on drums?

58 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 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

141 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Bliss In 7 Languages?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 21, 29, 32, 41, 112, 124 and 3 more.
