THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-25, 34-40 and 54-61, and 1 more place -- 21.2% 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 Chi?

126 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 Chi hard to play on drums?

90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 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 Chi?

5 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 21, 31, 32, 33, 53, 71 and 14 more.
