THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-33, 51-54 and 80-82, and 1 more place -- 18.3% 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 Casualty?

160 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 Casualty hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 2:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Casualty?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 10, 12, 16, 34, 55, 73 and 4 more.
