THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Concrete Soil?

202 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Soil hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 2:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 Concrete Soil?

16 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 38, 39, 40 and 32 more.
