THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-13, 17-25 and 33-35, and 2 more places -- 29.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Breaker?

119 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Breaker hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Breaker?

15 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15 and 33 more.
