THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 38-39, 42-43 and 46-47, and 3 more places -- 11.1% 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 Business is Business?

118 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 Business is Business hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 6:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
