THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-16, 18-20 and 22-24, and 10 more places -- 23.1% 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 Christian Woman?

90 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 Christian Woman hard to play on drums?

42 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

200 bars, about 8:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Christian Woman?

12 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 9, 13, 17, 25, 29, 33 and 29 more.
