THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 68-73, 84-85 and 88, and 14 more places -- 22.3% 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 Come Together?

177 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Come Together hard to play on drums?

55 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 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 Come Together?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 67, 89, 91, 107, 109, 110 and 7 more.
