THE BEAT

One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-27 and 33-35, and 1 more place -- 27.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Cochise?

80 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 Cochise hard to play on drums?

59 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

73 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Cochise?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 20, 36, 56, 60, 63 and 64.
