THE BEAT

One bar, and 27% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 7-14, 21-28 and 33-40, and 1 more place -- 27.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is cj?

200 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 cj hard to play on drums?

62 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 2:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 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 cj?

6 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 42, 46, 56, 60, 62, 70 and 11 more.
