THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-23 and 25-27, and 5 more places -- 9.4% 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 Bulletproof?

240 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 Bulletproof hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

257 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 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.
