The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-15, 17-23 and 25-30 -- 21.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on high tom, floor tom and hi-hat foot, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 53 out of 100 -- a step up -- and the thing that decides that is the independence between the hands and the feet.
The whole song is 76 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
A part this hard is not learned by playing it slowly and hoping. The room opens it on its simplest reduction -- the timekeeper alone, at 110 BPM -- and adds the notes back over 4 rungs, each with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
Tempo goes 110, 130, 149 and 169 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on high tom, floor tom and hi-hat foot, in 4/4 at 169 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 21.1% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 1-15, 17-23 and 25-30. The time is kept on the toms to start with, and it changes 9 times over the song.
53 out of 100 on its own -- a step up. The song as a whole is 76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
