THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 81, 83-85 and 87, and 2 more places -- 9.1% 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 Carbon Copy?

235 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Carbon Copy hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Carbon Copy?

18 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 23, 26, 30, 32, 43, 48 and 32 more.
