THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 83-85, 87-89 and 91-93, and 3 more places -- 10.9% 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 Concrete Beast?

170 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 Concrete Beast hard to play on drums?

47 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 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Concrete Beast?

16 fills to learn, played 59 times: bars 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 16 and 53 more.
