THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13-16, 18-19 and 31-34, and 1 more place -- 15.4% 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 Clown?

73 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Clown hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 Clown?

10 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 4, 6, 10, 20, 24, 38 and 11 more.
