THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20, 24 and 28, and 9 more places -- 9% 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 Celosia?

150 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Celosia hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

158 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Celosia?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 25, 33, 37, 41, 49, 53 and 20 more.
